Erik Mercer

A Tale of Vagabonds and Bureaucrats Erik Mercer

In the middle of the night, a young bureaucrat is summoned to an old vagabond's house...and the world changes
Names - omitted by the histories of noble houses - are whispered of again. Names of four grave-robbers, battlefield-scavengers, thieves, who will go on to become the greatest heroes of the modern age.

Caleb - responsible, burdened Caleb, eldest of the band, descendant of a reviled and violent clan of warriors, who nonetheless eschews war.

Sorak - ruthless, heartless Sorak that doesn't plan for anything beyond the next hot meal and a full pipe, who finds himself in the middle of a daring plan that will change the lives of thousands.

Estin - sensuous Estin that drifts from one situation to another, secretly hoping, wanting, who will find herself having to choose between safety, and the life of one she cares about the most.

Morgon - enigmatic Morgon, who has seen first-hand what soldiers bent on pillaging and raping will do, and who is now forced into the army as a lowly recruit.

The wrong people at the right place at the right time - they never asked for this. But the fate of the world rests on their shoulders. Because nightmares have returned to the land.
