Only fools think war is simple.
Or glorious.
 
Some are warriors, some captains; others tend to the fallen or feed the living.
 
But on the magic-drenched battlefield, information is the lifeblood of victory, and Aranthur is about to discover that carrying messages, scouting the enemy, keeping his nerve, and passing on orders is more dangerous, and more essential, then an inexperienced soldier could imagine... especially when everything starts to go wrong.
 
Battle has been joined - on the field, in the magical sphere, and in the ever-shifting political arena...
 
"If in Cold Iron Aranthur sort of stumbled into the bigger picture by encountering the outermost ripples of it all, in Dark Forge he is very much a main player in bigger, scarier, and definitely more consequential events." - FanFiAddict
