Tales of Isyr The Siege Druine

Thirty men. Eight days. One chance to stop a war. When disgraced diplomat Ermano Douci finds himself in charge of the most critical position in a rebellion no one knows is happening, he welcomes the arrival of a hardened mercenary company at his gates, only for that company to take command and throw him out. With only one instruction-send help. Now Ermano must overcome his reputation for embellishing the truth to convince his superiors of the threat on their border before the tiny force he left behind is overcome. But not everything is as it seems. As the company inside the fortress awaits the arrival of an army many times its size, the true enemy waits on the horizon, and one man's bid for power in the northern empire of Qido threatens to destabilise an entire continent. This is the story of the siege of Druine-and the making of a legend. The Siege of Druine is a self-contained story within the Tales of Isyr series that takes place nine years before the events in The Many Shades of Midnight.
