Thrax - Warrior´s Dawn

'War waits for no-one' After the Age of Heroes: Ever since the fall of Troy, the House of Akamas ruled over the Chersonesos peninsula, unchallenged by Greeks and Thracians alike since time immemorial. But when Prince Bryzos, fourth in line to the throne, wakes up one morning half-drunk and with no clear recollection of the previous night's events, his life is about to take a drastic turn for the worse: His father King Ozrykes disowns him, exiling the wayward prince to the countryside. And then, without warning, the inhabitants of the peninsula suddenly find themselves embroiled in a conflict played out hundreds of miles away between Sparta, the Odrysian Kingdom and the Persian Empire. As these super powers collide in war, the Apsinthians, the Dolonkan's arch-enemies, grasp the opportunity to invade, laying waste to everything in their path. Caught up in events he is hardly able to comprehend, the womanizer and drunkard must become a warrior. And he will have to learn fast... or die.
