SideQuests are stand-alone stories or novellas that chronicle the
heroes, villains, and adventures in The Foreworld Saga across numerous
eras and ages. They can be read in any order with or without prior
knowledge of The Foreworld Saga.
When The Italian Job meets the Knights of the Round Table, the
ultimate medieval heist caper is born.
It is the summer of 1035 AD and three sons of Tancred de Hauteville are
in ambivalent service to Guimar, Prince of Salerno. The three men, who
have been trained by their father in the art of war since childhood,
spend the sweltering afternoons practicing swordplay, trading barbs, and
thinking of how many men they would need to take the prince's poorly
fortified castle for themselves.
But when a mysterious agent asks the prince for the brothers' services
in obtaining a gilded chest, eldest brother William recognizes an
opportunity to strengthen the Hauteville legacy. When he assembles a
crew of skilled mercenaries, loyalties are tested and truths revealed.
Among the group, there is a traitor, a spy, and the carrier of a
long-held secret. The trust William places in each of his men will
decide the future for himself and his family.
A bold new SideQuest in the Foreworld Saga, Hearts of Iron shows a
different side of the middle ages, but with all the deft-sword play,
historical accuracy, and political intrigue you would expect from the
series that brought you The Mongoliad trilogy.
