Sulamar

The Tyreen navy sails to the rescue of Gashora, an elfyn city in the Western Sulani Federation, for the Sultan of Sharitan has sent a fleet to sack it for riches and women.However the Sultan does not comprehend the country he seeks to conquer, ruled by the very women he imagines he can thrall, nor the resources they have at hand. They have sent the Tyreens, once coastal pirates now subsidized by the Federation in exchange for services at sea, and the Tyreens, committed to do their duty, intend to make the "Old Queen proud".Now with the enemy in sight, the Tyreen fleet prepares to engage. But storm clouds gather, threatening to rob power from their navy's greatest weapon, the solcannons. And they have yet to reckon with the Dragon of Tamask, an engine of war the Sultan believes will deliver certain victory.And even if the Tyreens defeat the sea forces of the humyn desert upstart, what is to keep the best women and boldest men from their worst temptations when bloodlust demands satisfaction for wrongs past and present?Can Gashora be saved within the bounds of chivalry and honor?
