The first novel to be released in The Foreworld Saga, The
Mongoliad: Book One,
is an epic-within-an-epic, taking place in 13th century. In
it, a small band of
warriors and mystics raise their swords to save Europe from
a bloodthirsty
Mongol invasion. Inspired by their leader (an elder of an
order of warrior
monks), they embark on a perilous journey and uncover the
history of hidden
knowledge and conflict among powerful secret societies that
had been shaping
world events for millennia. But the saga reaches the modern
world via a
circuitous route. In the late 19th century, Sir Richard F.
Burton, an expert on
exotic languages and historical swordsmanship, is approached
by a mysterious
group of English martial arts aficionados about translating
a collection of long-
lost manuscripts. Burton dies before his work is finished,
and his efforts were
thought lost until recently rediscovered by a team of
amateur archaeologists in
the ruins of a mansion in Trieste, Italy. From this
collection of arcana, the
incredible tale of The Mongoliad was recreated. Full of high
adventure,
unforgettable characters, and unflinching battle scenes, The
Mongoliad ignites
a dangerous quest where willpower and blades are tested and
the scope of
world-building is redefined.
