To find peace, they must go to war. But war always demands a heavy price. Those Left Standing, Book 3 of the Sagaman Series by multi-award-winning author Maggie Kirton, escalates the tension and suspense as Kessler, the Dragon War Council, and their allies plan to defeat Lathorio, the Usurper King of Leri. "Those Left Standing is another triumph in the first-rate Sagaman series from the master crafter of high fantasy. Shrewdly plotted, soulful, and spellbinding, Kirton effortlessly returns the reader to the enchanted, esoteric world of the Sagaman." ~ The Book Review Directory "… although her prose is as cerebrally elegant as before, the narrative has a higher emotional intensity and a darker drive." ~ The Book Review Directory "Kirton has brought the full force of darkness to bear on Those Left Standing. It’s nasty, visceral stuff that is as appalling to read as compelling, and it somehow seems inflected with contemporary anxietieswhich lends it a horrid immediacy." ~ The Book Review Directory In the land of Leri, an endless war rages on, led by a bewitched Warlock Usurper King. His reign of terror has oppressed the peasants and the Fae... but the time for change has come. The oppressed Fae of Leri are to be freed and given a new home in the Forest of the Fae, with King Vinur, the ruler of all Fae, standing as their protector. Alliances are formed with Joywind, the Queen of Sylva, and Damyr, the King of Ubertas. But they soon learn that not all allies can be trusted. To defeat the Usurper, Kessler, Shai, and Vinur must first locate his bewitched lair. In their quest, they discover the power of a name ... a force mightier than the fire of all the dragons combined. The war in Leri is brutal, mirroring the harsh realities of battles fought in every age—filled with loss, sacrifice, and heartache. Can the Usurper be defeated with only strong blades, dragons, and an army of fire from The Other Side of Eternity? Can This Side of Eternity finally obtain the peace it has longed for... for so long?
