Marno's Shield

Meet Marno, a young boy on the planet of Solatia. He and his best friend, Tigrand, are loyal citizens of their country, Syren. Both are ascending into manhood via the traditions of their people, while at the same time the neighboring country of Maif is declaring peace. Things seem to be going well for Marno. They both want nothing more than to start their careers and work hard apart from their families. What could possibly go wrong? That is, until the King of Maif declares war on Syren under the guise of peace. That is, until Marno is separated from his family and given military-grade armor. That is, until Marno is forced to fight for his life and the lives of his countrymen. That is, until Marno faces overwhelming losses and only has his faith to sustain him. Will Marno be able to fight for his homeland? Will his faith hold up? Will he see his family again? Or, will Marno lose everything he has as he stares the horrors of war in the face? Read on, the Chronicles of Solatia await.
