MoranMoreMoran, the youngest son of the Earl of Eligai, is sent on his first command to support a rebellion against the young Queen Aija. He makes powerful enemies of Aitan, leader of the rebels, and Lord Jain, a dangerous and totally amoral killer. Moran flees with his men back to Eligai in deep winter.Moran is forced to re-evaluate his life and is irrevocably hurled onto a path he could never have foreseen. Eligai, smallest of the earldoms of Irridan, becomes isolated and could be so easily engulfed by its enemies. To the west in the wilderness are the Ekanii, who obliterated a force led by Moran’s grandfather, and now exist in an uneasy truce with Eligai. While to the east are only supporters of the rebellion, gathering to march on the capital. But Moran’s fate lies not with the defence of Eligai, but in the wilderness with a fierce and dangerous companion.While men squabble and fight over the kingdom of Irridan, an ancient race, the Urgun, plan to descend from their long hidden refuge in the far north and take the lands back from man, and the god of the Urgun, steeped in malice, seeks dominion over the world and all its phases of existence.The Ekanii have a prophecy, which some still cling to in the wild hope that the Ekanii race will rise again from their remorseless decline in the far western wilderness - the Eyestar Prophecy. But the ‘prophet’ was considered mad by some, driven over the edge by the hopelessness of his people. In hope for his people and just a touch of a cynical twist of humour the First Elder had called his daughter Aerie, or in human tongue – Eyestar.The story concludes with Sacrifice. Eyestar by Charles M. Hill
