Diomedes Melas is one of but a hundred survivors of a shattered mountain regiment. He's also the master of Porphyron, a cyclopean castle that stands as the sentinel of Parnathia, a border province of the Empire of Heracleia. Aratheor Bladefallen is the Lord of Thorns, master of Porphyron's twin, the cyclopean castle that guards the Kingdom of Valiri, on the other side of the mighty Stonewall mountain range.
Ixiak, the Bloody Hand is a darkmage of depthless hatred and the singular ambition of bringing ruin upon the lands of dorians. On the path of war, he refuses to admit defeat. These three leaders and those who follow them inevitably collide and the mountain peaks reverberate with the sound of war's thunder. The steel and bronze of the dorian warriors clashes with the bone and iron of the numberless darkspawn, orphic mysticism is pitted against vile magganea and the cyclopean stones bleed.
Even that which was built to stand forever, cannot endure for long the crushing grip of the Bloody Hand. This is an epic fantasy novel close to ninety thousand words long, set in the Age of Thunder. It immerses the reader into the lives and the trials of the dorian peoples as the first millennium of the age comes to a close. This book is the first part of the Castle Porphyron story arc which is comprised of three books and it also launches the Cyclopean Castles series.
Those willing to embark on an epic journey have but to open the book and turn the page.

Biographie de Vasilis Petrovic

I was a boy in the '80s and a young man in the '90s and I wouldn't change that - unless I could live in the Hyborian Age, I'd make that change in an instant. I grew up with European and American comics, science-fiction and fantasy books and the best music and movies that mankind has produced in its history. I was reading Marvel's Conan comics since grade school and discovered AD&D just on the edge from adolescence to manhood.
Since then, my hobbies have accompanied me down the difficult and winding road of life. I wanted to write stories since I was eighteen or so and in fact I've written loads of stories that people have enjoyed in a role-playing setting. At some point I decided to do this thing that I've always wanted to do and write a true novel. It would annoy me to no end to die before writing at least one fantasy story.
So, I began writing a story. It began modestly, with the desire to write one single book tentatively entitled 'The Castle' but it grew quickly and it will be finished after about nine books. Now it's called 'The Cyclopean Castles' (bigger story, more and bigger castles). On the way, the stories branched out and I began a second series, 'The Blades of Dawn.'I have prayed to Crom for success but he is an uncaring god and he sits alone on his mountain, laughing down at me so to Hell with him! I'll consider it a success if I finish my stories and I have my books sitting on a bookshelf, keeping company to the likes of Howard, Moorcock, Gemmel and many other beloved fantasy authors.
That's all you need to know about me, now go and read one of my books.
