New, unpublished stories about Eskkar’s early life.

Ever wonder how it all started, what events turned Eskkar into an outcast, shaped his character, and formed the man who would one day rule Akkad?

Eskkar was just over thirty years old when he took over the defense of Orak, and Nicar gave him Trella to help him save the village. For his previous fifteen years, Eskkar walked and rode and fought his way up and down the land between the two rivers, an outcast barbarian hated by almost all he encountered. Each encounter not only strengthened Eskkar, but also provided him with the knowledge he would need someday to defend Orak. 

In the beginning, however, there was a happier time when Eskkar was just a boy living with his family, part of the great clan of the Alur Meriki. Life was simple then, and he could look forward to the life of a warrior, and to the day when he would ride with clan as one of the rulers of the earth.

All that changed in a single moment, and chance hurled Eskkar down a different path than the one chosen for him by his parents.

Read the Prolog and Chapter 1 of In The Beginning.  Meet Eskkar’s mother and father, and discover how everything started. Coming soon will be the story of Eskkar’s first fight to the death.
