The sound of the teacher’s voice droned in his ear, “Battles have been lost before men have stepped a foot on the battlefield. Your tactics are the plans you make for the upcoming battle and strategy is the careful planning and managing of your activity on the battlefield. Heed this lesson well young man as the lives of men are in your hands, and should always be in your heart.”
Attalee, a twelve year old boy king, must face the threat of a barbarian army that outnumbers his own, three to one. It was tactics that helped him win the Battle for Ka’an and the story continues as Attalee realizes that skillful strategy must be used, if the New Roman Empire is to survive, The Siege of Ka’an.

Thank goodness there is a sequel to "The Battle for Ka'an"! I read "The Siege of Ka'an" immediately upon completing Book 1. The author does an excellent job of revisiting “The Battle for Ka'an” making the transition to Book 2 smooth and exciting; and then, the Battle becomes alive! This book brings the Battle with all its strategies of war and relationships to a strong, visceral, and heightened view. This talented author's palette creates a visual experience, allowing the reader a gateway to enter the space beyond words; an entrance to the scene and a feeling of “being there” drawn into the intimate lives of the characters (human and nonhuman) and the possible outcomes. Where is Book 3? I want it now!
