Brave champions. Swords and sorcery. Breathtaking twists and turns…

In a world besieged by relentless foes, the empire stands on the brink of defeat, encircled in a grip of war.
Amidst the chaos and danger rises Stiger, a hero burdened with a tarnished legacy yet destined for epic greatness. With the aid of allies, the gnomes, the elves, and the Vass, Stiger has shattered the tribal armies of the Barrens and saved the garrison at Nabernacum.

But his trials and tests have only just begun. Haunted by a past filled with loss and dark memories, Stiger faces his greatest challenge yet: the defeat of the malevolent wizard Amaranth. Amaranth’s insidious plan involves not only kidnapping Stiger’s allies, but claiming his dread sword, Rarokan, and seizing Stiger’s soul.

To confront this foe, Stiger must venture to a place to which he vowed never to return, Wackita, the volcano and a cursed land populated by gnomes and dark secrets. Accompanied by a fearsome dragon, a Knight of the Vass, elven rangers, a devotee to a dark god, and his dog, Stiger embarks on a perilous journey. What waits is a maelstrom of danger, revelation, and adventure, unlocking extraordinary powers Stiger could never imagine possible and beginning the fulfilment of a prophecy.
The empire’s fate hangs in the balance. But Stiger, ever resilient, refuses to surrender. The ultimate battle to save the empire and the world is upon him, a test of courage, strength, and destiny.

If you like military fantasy and authentic battle scenes, then you’ll love Marc Alan Edelheit’s Roman-inspired adventure series.

The Stiger Chronicles

In The Stiger Chronicles, the boundaries between ancient military strategy and high fantasy are blurred in a world where valor, betrayal, and magic collide. At the heart of this gripping series is Captain Ben Stiger, a man with a turbulent past who finds himself commanding the 85th Imperial Foot, an outcast company of soldiers often dismissed as a liability. But beneath Stiger’s rigid discipline lies a leader with a complex moral compass, tasked with leading his men through some of the most dangerous missions the empire has ever faced.

The empire, heavily inspired by ancient Rome, feels both grounded and expansive, offering a rich tapestry of cultures, legions, and rivalries that drive the plot. Edelheit’s skillful blend of historical realism and fantastical elements provides a sense of authenticity in a world where warriors wield swords as easily as they manipulate magic.
