Army of the Skeletal Prince (Dead Souls Rising)

The innocence of the human condition forgetful of a distant history passed down for centuries…time passes as people forget.Over generations the stories of heroes, magic and darkest evil are converted into folk lore, amusing tales or bedtime stories to scare children.Historical wars and alliances drift from reality into superstition as humans are parted from the other stranger races in lands across a great stormy sea, a few remaining adventurers continuing in the most inhospitable terrain known to any race.With alliances and ancient civilisations long forgotten, the few shy and timid peoples still forging existences in human lands retreat into the darkness, hiding from exposure in enclaves and underground shelters across the terrain. A realisation the human condition feeds on suspicion and hatred…a hatred of the different, the misunderstood forcing the beings into the safety of darkness hours.This is a time when lands are ruled by nobles, their magistrates and the sword and spear for weapons. Farming, fishing and merchant trade are a way of life. Communities thrive as self-supporting mechanisms of trade and loyalty. Peace has reigned for years, the monarchy revered and trusted across the land.But the historically distant mistakes of man may be due to return, the modern world simply the innocence of disbelievers, desperate to rely on the comforts of a false normality.Something vile has arisen, escaped from long captivity and oppression…gathering momentum and strength.The ignorance continues as strange events are dismissed as misunderstandings or the unlikely insane ramblings of any possible witnesses…spreading gossip that causes alarm has been outlawed for years. The confused onlookers are ostracised, alienated and disbelieved as the stories are told...many remain silent, convincing themselves that any strange signs are simply superstition, misunderstandings or gossip.The time to act has passed…the distant stirring of rotten flesh, the exhale of fetid air…an eternity of hatred rising…a dark and evil will to return. To conquer…to subjugate…to pollute…the reign of death and evil eager to be upon us and feed from flesh once more…hunting life itself, all of nature will take sides as an inevitable carnage draws nearer.In times of ultimate danger, heroes can rise, new allies may be found and recruited…a battle for survival and the existence of life itself will begin.Chaos will emerge from complacency and innocence, hope descending into despair as a war like no other begins…a world that will change…forever.The Legacy of the Dark Orcs may not just be a fabled story from past generations……It may be the only real hope left.The writer aims to provide a thoroughly enjoyable and imaginative reading experience at an affordable price for the reader. All three works from the author's World War 2 Series concentrating on the Battle for Stalingrad have achieved Best Seller status on Amazon in the UK and many more stories are outlined.Imagination is personal, free and to be cherished.
