Tales of the Lost Caravan - Paperback

by Karl X. Basedow (Author)

An episodic fantasy novel. There are stories of blood and beauty, triumph and despair. From tales of vengeance and lies uncovered to supernatural disasters and tragic accidents- all told through the eyes of the caravaneers as they make their way from Bogdan Marsh through the unforgiving wilderness of the northlands.

The Borengar Mountains bled silver from the gaping mines of Bogdan Marsh. Men drew from the earth her riches for dreams of power and wealth. Greed and prejudice, were wounds that deeply hampered the kingdom and pumped poison through its veins. Silver, not only coveted by the rich and poor alike, was used by wizards as a source of power. However, Bogdan Marsh was a great distance from the eastern realm that ruled it. The ships that carried the treasures were caught at sea and plundered by Zealots of the west.

A plan was devised to carry the silver overland, while sending the doomed vessels out to the Nordric sea. The king's guards dressed as mercenaries and led by Tipani, Captain Diron, and the caravan leader, Korella, of the Attebrough trading family were to meet Ragnor Allman, the king's agent in Bogdan Marsh. However, when Effravites and Lieutenant Belcos intervene, nothing falls as planned.
