No one knew who or even what they were. These strange, eight-foot-tall creatures with hard, chitinous grayish bodies, four arms and two legs had suddenly appeared marching from the north through the Pine Woods until reaching their destination in the Great Forest. They wore no clothes, and their chests arched out to a thin edge in the center, which would render any slashing sword blows completely ineffective. Their hairless heads were something that would keep children awake at night. Only humans, dwarves, aelf, and grendlaar defended the keep against the alien invaders. These groups from vastly different races and cultures must learn to work together as one to avert total destruction of Dragonsbane Keep at the hands of the dolmaari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">In addition to the above novella, this anthology contains five short stories revolving around the early lives of some of the main characters of <em>The Knights\u2019 Trials<\/em> by Daniel E.
