Chapter 1 - The Empire

Sequel to "The Stonegate Sword." Continues the tale of love, war, sacrifice and redemption in the Colorado Rockies. It is more than a century in the future, but society has regressed to a medieval-style society. But as survivors have recovered from the collapse, an ancient scourge, war, returns to the mountains and plains. Can Don help lead the fractured cities and villages to unite against a remorseless foe? Can Rachel ever forgive him for the death of her parents?
