Overview

Four young men come of age in a time of prophecy and war....

New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole is a recognized star of military fantasy. The Dark Glory War is a thrilling new tale set in a world threatened by an unstoppable foe....

In the sacred season of the Moon Month, four young men don the masks that herald their coming-of-age celebration, a time of testing, ritual, festival, and romance.

But for Tarrant Hawkins and his friends Leigh, Rounce, and Nay, their first test becomes a desperate struggle for survival. For they will encounter the vanguard of an invasion force poised to overrun their homeland of Oriosa, and all four will find their lives changed forever when they encounter a legendary weapon that brings its wielder invincibility. Yet the magic sword may prove more curse than blessing, signaling the arrival of a cataclysmic battle with ancient foes. And in the face of dire sorceries and terrible battles, these youths will come to manhood...or to death.

Editorial Reviews

KLIATT
This is a tale of secret societies, symbolic costumes, scheming royalty, and magical creatures both friend and fiend, with three young noblemen wielding swords to prove themselves. Coming to manhood in a culture that has the tradition of wearing masks to designate one's caste and accomplishments, Tarrant Hawkins is self-confident. With his lifelong friends Rounce and Leigh, he enters his "Moon Month" with the gift from his father of his first mask, a simple white one. The three are then to undergo secret trials and rituals, culminating in their acceptance as adults. The first taste of disaster happens when masked strangers take them by carriage from a ball and they are left for the night in the forest. Rounce is attacked and permanently crippled by a griffin-like beast. Hawkins and Leigh, with the help of a new companion, Nay, manage to kill the temeryx. For their bravery, they are rewarded with feathers for their masks and a mission to warn the queen. Hawkins and his friends are prepared to do battle with snowclaws, gibberkin, dragons and the demon queen Chrytine, but what does them in is human—petty scheming, political jostling, and betrayal for personal gain. This is deftly written, with classic archetypes; unfortunately, the story cuts off at a cliffhanger so it is necessary to read the next book to find out what happens to everyone. Since this volume is billed as a "Prelude to the DragonCrown War Cycle," the buyer would have to be prepared to commit to the entire series. KLIATT Codes: JSA—Recommended for junior and senior high school students, advanced students, and adults. 2000, Bantam/Spectra, 402p, 18cm, $5.99. Ages 13 to adult. Reviewer: Liz LaValley;Mattapoisett, MA, July 2000 (Vol. 34 No. 4)
VOYA
Tarrant and his friends eagerly don their masks at the beginning of the sacred month of trials and initiations that will lead to full adulthood. They look forward to the whirl of parties and adventures that mark the Moon Month but are unprepared when during their first ordeal, they stumble over the frontline of an invasion force poised to take over their homeland. Now Tarrant must risk everything he holds dear to help defeat the sorceress Chytrine and the terrible armies she controls. Teens who like books overflowing with battles and campaigns will snatch this book up quickly, but Stackpole does not break any new ground with his coming-of-age tale, the first of four planned titles in the DragonCrown War Cycle. Despite Tarrant's first-person narrative, an interesting touch that allows for timely foreshadowing, the characters never rise above two-dimensional. Chytrine's minions are stereotypically evil--beasts that would as soon fall upon each other as those they are trying to conquer. The battles and deaths are described graphically but never impress upon the reader the horrors of warfare. Stackpole nicely fleshes out Tarrant's friendship with his lord's son and tastefully handles his relationship with a young elven woman. The story picks up interest and speed in the last few chapters and the final page is surprising and gut-wrenching enough to spur interest in the forthcoming sequels. Taken as a whole, however, this work fails to capture interest and inspire readership outside of Stackpole's typical base of fans.

Read an Excerpt

The day they gave me my mask was the first day I felt truly alive.

Though I received my mask over two decades ago, I remember the events surrounding it clearly. The tinge of winter had not quite left the air that year, so even as we were coming to Mid-Summer's Eve the days were cooler than normal. Many people were happy with the weather, since the previous year had been a scorcher, and some went so far as to suggest that the mild weather might have betokened the death of Chytrine, the scourge of the Northlands. I didn't care about the weather or the tyrant of Aurolan because this was my eighteenth summer, which made it special and me anxious.

The mask I got was not, of course, the first mask I had ever worn, nor would it be the last. It was a simple moonmask, as white as the orb for which it was named. If the gods smiled and I proved worthy, as the moon again became full I would be awarded my first life mask, and this moonmask would be a memento of my transition from childhood frivolity to adult responsibility.

It had been my intention, that morning, to wake early and dress myself, as befit my new station in life. I wanted to be able to greet my father as an adult in all but the mask he would bring. Unfortunately I awoke much too early, spent time in my bed wondering if I should get up or go to sleep again, then fell asleep and remained so rather solidly until, dimly, I heard my father's heavy tread on the stairs. Before I could rub sleepsand from my eyes, the door opened and he entered my room.

My memory of his coming to me that mid-summer morning, bearing the mask, still endures and is one of my most favorite of him. All over Oriosa other children in their eighteenth summer were also receiving their masks. For many of them the presentation would be a family affair, but among the Hawkinses, fathers presented masks to sons, mothers to daughters, making it a more intimate and solemn occasion. I welcomed this moment of serenity before what I guessed would be a month of controlled insanity.

My father stood there, at the foot of my bed, looking down at me. His life mask, which he seldom wore in our house, had a fearsome visage. White temeryx feathers, with their shifting rainbow highlights, splayed out and back at the mask's temples. The cut of the mask's lower edge had been sharpened into a hawk's beak over his nose. This had been done both as a play on our name and the fact that Lord Norrington and his father before him had often used my father to hunt enemies the way another might loose a hawk on a varmint. Orphan notches had been cut by each eye and the brown leather had two green ribbons stitched into the portion covering his forehead. Those marked awards for bravery, one from Lord Norrington and the other from the hand of the Oriosan queen.

A hank of blond and silver hair hung down over the mask's forehead and bisected the ribbons. My father refused to wear a cowl, though entitled to do so, preferring to let others see his full head of hair. Through the mask's narrowed eyeslits I could see his brown eyes, perhaps the hint of a tear glistening in an orphan notch. He never cried from pain, my father, physical pain, anyway. But other hurts, or life's joys, could tickle a tear from his eyes.

Though he did not stand as tall as I, he was still a big man and broader through the chest and shoulders than I was. Growing up, he'd seemed bigger, and yet even as I grew into my adult size, I always thought of him as bigger than me. Though he was entering the twilight of his life, my father still possessed the strength of his youth and served as Lord Norrington's Peaceward in Valsina.

He raised his hands slowly, bearing between them the simple strip of white leather I would wear for the next month. "Arise, Tarrant Hawkins. At an end are the carefree days of your youth. Upon this mask, and many like it, will be written the story of your life as a man."

I threw back my blanket, and with only the crackle of the straw mattress and the groan of old floorboards to break the silence, I stood before my father. I plucked a piece of straw from the sleeve of my nightshirt, then ran fingers back through my black hair and snagged another piece. They fell to the floor as my hands returned to my sides.

I'd waited for this day forever, it seemed. The full moon closest to mid-summer marked the day we'd get our moonmasks. Everyone my age knew the full moon would fall exactly on mid-summer, which meant we would be blessed and special. Great things would be expected from us, and I hoped I would prove worthy of such an auspicious omen. Ever since I'd learned that the full moon would fall on mid-summer in my year, I had worked to prepare for this day and the rest of my life beyond it.

The problem was, however, that preparing for the unknown was not a simple task. I knew, in general, what would happen during my Moon Month. While I'd been barred from the festivities surrounding similar awards to my brothers and sisters, the results of their Moon Months were not hard to see. Noni, my eldest sister, had emerged betrothed from her month, while my older brothers had won positions in the Frontier Lancers and the Oriosan Scouts respectively. It seemed to me to be pretty clear that during their month they had been the subjects of negotiations or recruitment that set them on a path for the rest of their lives.

Reaching up, my father pressed the leather mask against my face, then raised my left hand to hold it in place. I turned in compliance with his pressure on my shoulder and felt him tighten the mask in place. A bit of my hair caught in the knot and pulled, but I knew that had not been an accident. The hair and the mask are equally now part of me. I am the mask and it is me.

"Turn around, boy. Let me look at you."

I turned back to face him and saw a proud smile broaden the lower half of his face. "You already wear the mask well, Tarrant."

"Thank you, Father."

    Greatest book ever

    Okay, the ending may be very sad and depressing, but one must remember that there is a whole series that comes after this book and all loose ends are taken care of. The battles are amazing, the charectors are very likable, and the story is captivating. Tarrant Hawkins lives in a society that uses masks to show who they are which contradicts the automatic assumption that a mask is used to conceal an identity.Throughout the story you journey with Tarrant as he goes and finds who he is. A jolly good read, and quite possibly the best book ever writtin. When it ended I cried, and I'm not a very emotional guy, and the point I'm trying to get across is that this book changed me. Go out and buy it emmediatly, and you will not be disapointed.

    Very Good

    'The Dark Glory War' was the first book I read from Michael A. Stackpole. It was very different. The creatures in this book were very well descibed such as gibberers. They were all different and created by Stackpole. I like that kind of change of creatures instead of goblins, orcs, and minotaurs. Michael A. Stackpole described all of the characters very well. I only give this book 4 stars because of the ending. I thought it was a great twist to the book but it was also sad in a way. My favorite character in this novel was Resolute. Although you don't get to hear from the Vorquelf very much, he still plays a good role in the book and the books to come. This a great book with good action and good fantasy.

    Stackpole is just.... wonderful. He describes the desire for power, love and honor beautifully. Although kinda depressing at the end, it is still a hard-to-put-down book.

    Yet another golden tale, spun wonderfully from a brilliant mind

    Stackpole does it yet again. Continuing his tradition of pleasing his fans. He perfectly targets the desires of the reader. Immediately he sucks you in with vivid imagery and wordplay so fantastic, it enlives your mind as though you were side by side the heros therein. The heros themselves are described and portrayed with such maticulous detail that it is all but impossible to not be submerged wholly in the text. Stackpole has this uncanny ability to unfold a multifaceted story arc with such finess and ease that one simply marvels at the refined style in which he expresses himself. he has discovered the key to perpetual page turning. Upon finishing a chapter, you find yourself forsaking sleep and reason to see where the tale will head. This book is so amazing it leaves you gasping and waiting for the next novel to come. The adventures of Tarrant and company, will excite and enrapture you. Read it, you will see what I mean. My words do it nor its author any justice. So write on Mr. Stackpole, we will keep reading.

    More solid fantasy from Stackpole

    Michael Stackpole's latest book, this novel is the introduction to the DragonCrown cycle. This book introduces you to four young men who are entering their 'moon month,' a coming-of-age ritual that sets an individual's life path. Events move quickly, with an invasion of Northern creatures interrupting the festivities and tests, and starting a series of events that eventually leads to a major siege by Chytrine's forces (the 'Forces of Evil') at Fortress Draconis. Of course, this being a Stackpole novel, there are a number of sub-elements working through the story. Early on you are introduced to Resolute, a Vorquelf. These are elves from the Island of Vorquellyn, which was overrun by Chytrine's forces many years (in human terms) ago. I have a feeling that Vorquellyn will play a significant role in the unfolding saga. Second, Chytrine is tyring to collect the pieces of the DragonCrown, a magical artifact that lets her control dragons, which are devastatingly powerful creatures. Then there are secret societies, internecine politics, and some real backstabbing, some of which you can kind of see coming, and some of which hits you out of nowhere. This was an enjoyable book. It isn't earth-shatteringly great, but it is fun, and I read it when I should have been doing other things, because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I look forward to the next installment in the series.

    Inspiring

    Mr. Stackpole weaves a wonderful tale with just the right elements of action, adventure, romance, and friendship. The elements come together to keep the reader on their toes, and to keep the pages turning. This is a truly gripping tale, and the first in what will hopefully be a series of wonderful stories

    Stackpole Strikes Again!

    I devoured this book. As always, the author has created excellent characters and a great storyline for them to flow through. I eagerly anticipate 'Fortress Draconis' the next book in I hope a long series.

    Wonderful!!!

    I just finished reading this wonderful book and I must say that Stackpole outdid himself this time. I have been a longtime Stackpole fan and when I saw this book, I just had to pick it up and I'm very glad I did. The Dark Glory War has everything that a good fantasy novel needs and then some. I anxiously await the second book in this series.

    WOW!

    Mr. Stackpole did it agian. I am a die hard Stackpole fan and was not let down by this, his newest work. The Dark Glory of War has everything you would expect, excitment, intrigue, love, live, a little mystery to keep you thinking, and a few things you would never expect in a million years... If you saw me when I finished I'm sure the expression on my face would have been priceless. I hope Mike devotes a lot of time into releasing the sequel (and know he will). Godspeed Mr. Stackpole.

    There Better be a second one.

    In another jump into fantasy, Stackpole weaves a very strong tale from the viewpoint of Tarrant Hawkins. He does too good a job. I spent a long night reading to finish this book because it was so hard to put down. I kept thinking to myself just one more chapter. The story is very well told and background is brought in just when needed to keep the reader 'in the know' The only thing bad about this was the abrupt end. Not knowing that this was the first of a set of books had me horrified at the end of it. I am extremely glad that Stackpole will be finishing up this tale and hope him Penspeed so that he may finish the tale quicker.
