See all formats and editions

“This isn’t just an attack on the city. It’s something much greater. It’s an invasion of our whole world.”

A new constitution prepares Carlissa for an era of enlightenment. The old order fades, and a promise of freedom stirs the air. In the space of one terrifying day, that promise is shattered in a bloodbath of fire and magic.

An ancient enemy returns with the opening of the Hell Gate. Chaos reigns as the people rally to fight a desperate battle for survival, and many wonder bitterly why the gods seem to have abandoned them. Their only hope lies with the magic of the Archmage — and his, with a free-spirited princess who never wanted to rule. She must find the strength to set aside her bard’s calling and take up a battle against impossible odds, or surrender her land and people to the Black Magus and his demons.

In Hell Gate I - The Return of the Horde, the Demon Horde returns to Carlissa with the opening of the Hell Gate. Can the land's heroes survive its sudden and brutal onslaught? And even if they do, can they stop it from conquering the world?

Note to Readers: The Return of the Horde is the first of four novella length episodes in the miniseries Hell Gate. That miniseries is now also now available as a full length e-book novel under the same name. Hell Gate is the second book in the Dawn of Chaos trilogy, which is now also available as an omnibus volume in e-book and print editions. Dawn of Chaos is the first volume in the Sanctum of the Archmage Saga.

The Dawn of Chaos Trilogy: Prologue to Chaos, Hell Gate, and Aftermath
The Hell Gate Miniseries: The Return of the Horde, the Ring of the Killravens, The Massacre of Lannamon, and The End of the Beginning

I’m 𝙏𝙤𝙣𝙮 𝘼𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣, and I’m the author of the 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚 epic fantasy novels and games. They are published by my personal imprint, 𝘼𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙋𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜.

Invested from a young age with an overactive imagination, I’ve had a life-long love of science fiction, fantasy, computer games, and writing. In my career as a computer scientist I’ve worked in areas ranging from machine learning to quantum computing.

I’m also an indie computer game developer. As 𝘼𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣 in the Neverwinter Nights gaming community I released two award-winning, Hall of Fame “adventure modules” based on parts of the 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙢 saga. Their success helped convince me to explore my passion for storytelling in today’s new world of self and e-publishing.

The series continues with an entertaining struggle as the hordes pour into the city. Not only an enjoyable read as the battles unfold, but good to see the underlying intrigue also remains. Read this with the next in the series as they go together seamlessly.
