It is the final years of the 18th century,
but a world which few would recognise. The
people of Europe shelter in small islands
of safety, havens from the enchanted wilderness
- the strange boundless forests men call
the Tumble.
It is across this demon haunted landscape
that the low-born officer Taliesin must
lead his men, caught up in the deadliest
of intrigues while fighting wars for a noble
class which despises him.
With vicious murderers from the worst gutters
in the Realm marching behind him, and the
forces of the most powerful nations of the
mainland arrayed against him, the odds are
stacked against Taliesin. Heavily.
Yet he will fight on, battling armies,
weirdsman sorcerers, assassins, beastmen
and cross into the face of hell itself.
Not for loyalty, or a grudging respect
for his scheming monarch - not even for
the small mountain of silver the Island
Queen has promised him if he succeeds.
But because fighting is all he and pressed
band of cut-throats have ever known.
