The Promise of Joanaria (Fortresses in the Hereafter Book 1)

News of a revolution spreads across Alcadia. Thias Doncaster, Emperor of Joanas, hopes to quell the uprising and unite his kingdom. But the task is not so simple. The kingdom has been broken for centuries by a bitter and bloody history, and even the uprising hides a sinister secret. Meanwhile Drake, Prince of Centra, sets sail for the island of Joanas-Sorrow to await further instruction. He is young, immature and somewhat arrogant, but believes now is his chance to prove himself to his people. Jack, the man who is supposed to be at Thias’s side, witnesses the brutal murder of his wife and children, and is himself tortured and beaten at the hands of the lizard-like Hobsythe. Clinging to what remains of his life and blinded by an insatiable lust for vengeance, he strikes a bargain with an ancient demon. With untold amounts of power, Jack sets out to hunt down his family’s killers. But, once the revolution is dealt with, it will only be a matter of time before his thirst for vengeance turns to the rest of the world. It is down to Drake to defeat the monster Jack has become, but to do this he must grow and learn. The Promise of Joanaria chronicles the first steps of his journey, and acts as our introduction to the world of Alcadia.
