"There Lived Giants"

THERE LIVED GIANTS SYNOPSIS It's been three years since his little sister's kidnapping and the deadly slavery raid on Monger's northern village of Zii'na. After 2 years of captivity in the back-breaking limestone quarries of Stravida, Monger the barbarian escapes and heads south, with hopes of rescuing her. Fate seems to be with Monger right away when he catches a break immediately upon entering the nation of Thraamanum. His fighting skills catch the ear of none other than the king and His Majesty agrees to use all his assets to scour the city for the barbarian's sister, Binny. Chakra is a huge, walled city vast in size and it will take some time to accomplish this. Turned down, the king sweetens the pot by offering to search the entire nation, an offer Monger cannot refuse. In return, the warrior agrees to escort the King and Queen's only child, her royal Princess Ursuleeta, south to the country of Kapur for her prearranged wedding; a union of convenience and politics which could unite four other smaller nations with Thraamanum and Kapur against Warthen, the strong, wicked empire to the east. Warthen is all-powerful, evil and the enemy of all. The trek, however, must be done in secret and takes the party through the last stronghold of the dying race of giants; the land of Zamzummim. Monger gives his word he will see her safely there and married before returning to Kapur and word of his sister. But he must stay alive for his sister, HE MUST! Will he abandon the young princess and his brothers-in-arms, if his own life is at stake? This is a full-length story of adventure, action, swordplay, politics, spies, assassins, kings and queens, and fighting aplenty! What more do you want? Book One of the Early Earth/Monger series.
