The Last Field of Harun Strongfellow

He came home to plant crops. He found a war waiting in the fields. After forty years of service to the kingdom of Calthor, retired knight-general Harun Strongfellow returns home to raise his grieving son and bury his armor, only to find his village ruled by pirates, forcing him into one final war that will save his home and cost him everything. After forty years of war, General Harun Strongfellow has earned the one mercy soldiers rarely receive: retirement. He returns to his coastal hometown with a rusting suit of armor, a grieving ten-year-old son, and the ashes of a life he never got to live. His wife Elizabeth died while he was away on campaign. His son William learned sorrow without him. All Harun wants now is soil beneath his hands, supper by his own hearth, and enough quiet years to become a father before old age finishes what war began. But home is not waiting for him. Pirates rule the harbor. Merchants bow. Good folk whisper. When Harun sees an old woman murdered in the street for nothing, he understands the truth: the war has followed him home. With only a blind tactician, an old fisherman, a whorehouse madam, and two axe-wielding barbarian sisters who pray to old gods in blood, Harun begins a rebellion no sane man would attempt. He is too old for glory. Too tired for vengeance. Too broken for hope. But he is still Harun Strongfellow. And some men do not need to survive to win.
