Synopsis of Reckoning Day:
Is there something worse than dying?
Though legendary mercenary Gorias La Gaul has toppled the king of Albion, knives are at his back as he serves as regent over the boy king of neighboring Transalpina. Gorias, who is content that the dire Queen of the Prytens has fallen along with the pervert Albion king, falls for a horse trainer from the displaced lands.
As this unlikely relationship grows, forces rise against him on either side of the channel. While selfish usurpers plot, a more stygian enemy lurks, using the wizards of each land. A figure who has wanted Gorias since his birth. Gorias must balance against these powers and preserve the life of the heir to the throne.
Other threats soon manifest as a wizardess prepares to unleash a dire act of revenge; and even a dragon made of water.
A tale of action, adventure, love, sacrifice, and war, Gorias staggers through a bloody trail that will tear his heart loose. Can Gorias combat these deadly forces and stand tall against an arch-demon on what will truly be his RECKONING DAY?
