The Last Wall

The army of the Barkan Empire, overwhelming in numbers, marches on the last defensive line of the kingdom of Abelon. Eight thousand soldiers are left to hold the wall against an invasion force of a hundred thousand. Kael, who commands Abelon, will not give up the fortress, and works the terrain and a thin garrison against the assault. Arrows fall without pause, the wall gives way, the defenders go down one by one. The longer the battle runs, the more closely Kael and the Barkan commander Barek read each other, each trying to draw out the last of the other's strength. Then, with nowhere left to fall back to, the two commanders meet at the end of the war. Is victory cutting down every enemy, or keeping hold of the thing worth keeping? "The Last Wall" is a war drama set in a vast siege, about what people choose and what they give up to protect a wall and the lives behind it against impossible odds.
