At the dawn of a new age technology reigns supreme, but old gods die hard and with the world on the brink of war one man must decide where to put his faith.
Fantasy in the time of trench warfare, a story about the price of adventure even when undertaken with the best of intentions. Prince Jukendarid is the heir to the most powerful empire in the world and has lived a life of extreme privilege, but it has never been enough. The prince is cursed with a sense of duty, a need to repay mankind for the fortunate circumstances of his life, and now as the lives of millions are threatened with a world war this sense of duty has grown even stronger. The Prince’s grasp on reality is turned upside down when he becomes a student of The Prophet, a mystifying stranger who has foreseen that the gods intend to use Jukendarid as a tool to shape the planet’s future. At the onset of a horrific war that promises to eclipse any conflict in history thanks to the introduction of deadly new technologies, the prince sees no choice but to join the common men of the empire and fight shoulder to shoulder with them in the trenches. The war and the Prophet’s teachings will push the Prince’s sanity to the breaking point and he learns all too quickly that even the smallest of mistakes can lead to drastic consequences on the front line.
The Foremost offers sprawling battle sequences and exhilarating action intercut with moments of quiet spiritual and philosophical struggle as the young prince attempts to reconcile his beliefs with a brutal reality.
