Paperback. The Powterosian peninsula is in retreat everywhere. Chaos reigns as Dreadsdrac's armies roll over the unprepared kingdoms. What has been impregnable is undermined. One of Neuyokkasin's greatest allies is engulfed in the mayhem and topples. Another loses territory at an alarming rate. Unable to think of offense, it withdraws into a defensive mode, sensing little hope of survival. There appears to be no hope of thwarting the Dreaddrac advance.King Saxthor is exhausted trying to counter the enemy everywhere. Neuyokkasin's resources are dwindling. There seems to be no other resources necessary to stem the dark, unrelenting tide. The king's plea for assistance to Emperor Engwan IV of the Powterosian Empire goes unanswered. Saxthor stands alone as Queen Dagmar has disappeared as well. What hope is there? What else could possibly make things worse? Things can always get worse as Saxthor soon finds out. The whole Powterosian world is about to explode into a far greater conflagration. Sometimes, the loyalty of friends is all you have to hold onto.Honor, integrity, and loyalty disintegrate overwhelmed by loss of confidence, greed, and treachery. How can it end well? The Dragon Ring and the Crown of Yensupov now take on urgent significance in this desperate war for control of the Powterosian world. Dragons, wizards, elves, dwarves, witches, orcs, and other fantastic creatures spiral through this epic story of life with a twist. Great fantasy is credible, and it shows real life issues woven with delicious manifestations and personifications. Time to gobble up this epic if you haven't started it before now. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Review
The fantasy genre is full of authors that have become successful by catering to the preconceived notions of readers, by taking oft-used tropes and themes and simply using these to give readers a sense of familiarity and comfort as they go about another run-of-the-mill fantasy adventure. But the truly magnificent authors, writers like Melville, Erikson, Cook, and Martin eventually break free of these common tropes and themes and, instead of just using them, they push the genre's limits, testing, challenging and daring readers to come along for the ride. This is exactly what C. Craig Coleman has done in The Powterosian War, the fifth book of the Neuyokkasinian Arc of Empire Series. He dares you to stand beside Saxthor against insurmountable odds. He tests your limits, your emotional resolve as each twist and turn hits like a physical blow. He challenges you to think two and three steps ahead, to look at each character in each scenario and think about the possible future.
This is epic fantasy writing at its best. What started out as an ambitious project from a novice author has turned into an epic that weaves emotion and thought alike and draws the reader in with a superb plot and a solid narrative. I can unflinchingly say that I want more. More sleepless nights, occasionally exclaiming out loud as I immerse myself in this world. More of the twists and turns that at times make me marvel at the author's bravado, all while wanting to choke him to death. This is the best work by C. Craig Coleman. So far.
