STORY TAGLINE: “Thrust into the Valley of Decision” DEDICATION: In gratitude to the brave men and women of our nation’s military who make this world a safer place to live. BOOK DESCRIPTION: “The Cruel Sword of War: A Collection of Laconic Medieval Intra-Battle War Stories” is a simple, swift-paced, smooth-flowing picture storybook that combines the craft of storytelling with engaging, impressionist illustrations. “The Cruel Sword of War” is comprised of three imaginary, fictitious, mythical tales based upon a common battle storyline with a variety of characters in a medieval setting, to include: (1) “Defining Moment”, (2) “Arrow of Mercy”, and (3) “Crying in the Wind.” This short anthology of medieval stories will be appreciated by new adult and older adult audiences. Written from a first-person point of view, each story is communicated to the reader in a close, personal way. The vicarious, imagined participation by the reader unveils the thematic significance of these medieval tales by illustrating the truth that “freedom is not free and comes at great personal cost and sacrifice to military soldiers as well as their families while they serve our nation with dignity and honor.” Colorfully-illustrated and thoughtfully-written, the stories contained in this inspiring storybook are comprised of 44 pages of striking, specifically-sequenced pictures with an accompanying story narrative. These stimulating medieval tales are inspired by the full-length story told in the epic medieval fantasy novel book series entitled “The Wolves of Trisidian” by Adrian Robbe. “The Cruel Sword of War” emphasizes virtuous themes of duty, honor, and defense of one’s country. This collection of short, laconic medieval intra-battle war stories is presented as Volume 3 of the “Medieval Anthology Picture Book Series.” These captivating medieval tales promise to leave a positive, lasting impression upon every reader.
