No sooner, that hill will become the central point in a three day fight for The Union against their northern recalcitrant neighbors. But he won't hold the hill for long, not when Curnden Craw and his dozen, on behalf of Black Dow are set on taking it back. On that hill sits Hardbread, one of the Dogman's men. In the valley of Osrung sit The Heroes, statues of northern figures of the past. The Heroes is the fifth book written by the blazingly shameless author.

Seven human teenagers sauntered back and forth in front of a gate that permitted access to one of the highest levels of the city. Under the multicoloured banners of the sanctuary city of Villjamur, under the reign of a new emperor, and amidst a bitter northerly wind reaching far through the knotted streets, something was about to start.
