The Massacre of Lannamon - Hell Gate, #3

In Hell Gate III - The Massacre of Lannamon, the people of Carlissa fight a desperate battle for survival. But with the Archmage still missing, their hopes wane in the face of the advancing demon horde. An ancient enemy returns with the opening of the Hell Gate. Chaos reigns as the people rally to fight a desperate battle for survival, and many wonder bitterly why the gods seem to have abandoned them.
Their only hope lies with the magic of the Archmage - and his, with a free-spirited princess who never wanted to rule. She must find the strength to set aside her bard's calling and take up a battle against impossible odds, or surrender her land and people to the Black Magus and his demons. The Massacre of Lannamon is the third of four novella length episodes in the miniseries Hell Gate, which is also now available as a full novel.
