The 'Chronicles of War' is a series of seven complete and self-contained novels that narrate the fabled career of Epsilon Three, Holy Warfarer of the Martial Rite. Orphaned as an infant into a pagan cult of war, Epsilon Three (named for the month and the day he became a foundling) learns the strategies and tactics of war as a prodigy learns physics. Triumphant at the Festival of Alcorde, Epsilon's ultimate reward is banishment beyond the Great Barricade of Empire into a mysterious realm of magic and monsters.

The third volume of the series, Draven's Revenge narrates Epsilon's journey with his companions across the forgotten highlands of the Earthbones Ranges and through the stinking ruins of Bac Tur. There, they assault the capitol keep of their most powerful adversary, Vandegarte the Wall Builder. Before the assault can succeed, however, Epsilon must survive the hardships of Bac Tur to claim a sleeping army of the undead that legend has named 'Draven's Revenge'.
