Celebrating the one-year anniversary of the initial publication, the 2018 Anthology Edition to 2017's AGE OF WAR II retells the original grandeur of the Third Mc'Aoidh's endeavors. Years after the death of Brian of Bjorn, a new threat endangers the Nahvorian Kingdom and its inhabitants. Mariana, the daughter of an evil sorceress who leads a cult of witches, dares to disobey her selfish mother and joins the legendary Guardian Guild. Under the supervision of the Head Guardian, and eventual lover Richard, Mariana helps the King and his men in defending Strat Nahvor from her mother's devilish cult - and by having the Mc'Aoidh to return to the Land.
