Chronicles of Sui-Denas
Dark Military Fantasy by SJ Parker
The War in the North
Book One of the Chronicles of Sui-Denas
Captain Arder Tur Cide has seen the army in the mountains. Four thousand men, led by a general the Duchy cast out and forgot about. He didn't forget.
While Valbena debates, the north burns. Arder rides for his company with two of his scouts, racing to reach them before the fighting starts. His brother Cel marches with the Guards. At Dren Hollow, a sergeant named Hugo holds a timber stockade with a garrison that was never built for war.
Behind them all, in the corridors of Valbena, a baron's scheming is quietly reshaping the war from within.
The War in the North is the first novel in the Chronicles of Sui-Denas. Releases 1 May 2026.
