From the young author of the AGE OF WAR Saga and DIE GEDICHTE, Noah M. MacKay, the 2018 Anthology Edition of 2016's AGE OF WAR retells the old story in a new vision, enhancing the AGE OF WAR experience. In a mythical land of Strat Nahvor, the evil King Vlad and his ruthless Etahlan Army have full control over the Nahvorian Kingdom. His brother, the rightful heir to the throne named Brian of Bjorn, leads the Nordenberg Rebellion: a band of warriors who want freedom from Vlad's reign. As a civil war rages on, Brian soon discovers the true cause of the war, and thus becomes the only man who has the power to vanquish the evil, which threatens his homeland - a legendary hero known as the Mc'Aoidh.
