First Crossing - Marixian Empire: Tales from History, #1

Nasee tether desei - Arrogance is a gift from the gods. A short story from the history of the Marixian Empire. Marix, now a sprawling city at the heart of an empire was not always so thriving. In its early days it was little more than a trading post between great city states. But through the vision of Reparten Decissus, and the cunning of Rexus Oreothus, this outpost rose through chaos and rivers of blood to become an evergrowing, all encompassing empire.  Travel back to the beginning when Reparten took the reins of his father's business and embarked upon his first trip across the desert as the leader of a caravan, at his side the young and ambitious Rexus, leader of the new mercenary group, The Broken Company.
To reach their destination, Laresk, the exotic trading city across the desert, they must manage the dangers of raiders and competition, as well as the desert itself.  First Crossing is the first short epic fantasy story based on the history of The Marixian Empire by master storyteller, Matthew Luke. Set four hundred years before the Marixian Empire books, this series is a great introduction to the world.
