The Tiger's Fight — Marc Alan Edelheit

A tarnished legacy. A dangerous mission. An epic destiny... At long last, the seventh installment of the award-winning Chronicles of an Imperial Legionary Officer series is here! Ben Stiger, legate of the lost Thirteenth Legion, a nobleman from an infamous family, and born fighter, has defeated the enemy army before Lorium and raised the siege of the city. Having been named emperor, Stiger has traveled to Mal'Zeel and claimed his throne by force, spilling blood in the process and removing those who would steal his right to the Curule Chair. Stiger is now unquestionably the emperor, the last man standing. Or is he? Hundreds of miles away, the Cyphan Confederacy's armies are marching along the coast, moving inexorably toward the capital, leaving a swath of destruction in their wake. Stiger's army marching up from the south is still weeks away. The newly formed imperial army under the command of General Mechlehnus has marched to strike at the enemy. Mechlehnus has yet to acknowledge Stiger as emperor and may even seek the throne for himself. But that is the least of Stiger's problems. The empire is broke. The High Priest has fled with the treasury and Stiger has no idea where the man went. Before his god, the church must confirm and anoint him emperor. But there is no High Priest! In fear for their lives, the senate has left the capital as well, for they backed the usurper Leers, a man Stiger had killed. The dwarven wizard Ogg and the noctalum Menos are missing. Stiger must find them. He needs their help in the struggle to come. Without them, he has no hope of winning. Worse, the Castol have marched south, invading the empire, and sensing weakness, the tribes to the west have assembled and are preparing to attack. Even now, they have an entire legion besieged. He must find a way to break the siege, for the empire needs every sword in the fight to come. Stiger has finally accepted the mantle of Champion for his god, the High Father. He has come to accept being made emperor, a job he never wanted, and being seen by his men as gods blessed. But has he truly been blessed? Or has Stiger been cursed to a terrible destiny? The empire is surrounded by enemies, all vying for blood. The situation seems hopeless, but Stiger is not one to give up, not ever. The fight ahead is his fight...the Tiger's Fight.
