Warlord’s Troops is an epic romantic fantasy saga that chronicles the life of Blue. When Warlord Necropolis visits himself upon the peasants of a small village, he puts events in motion that will change the course of Blue's life. But the warlord has his own agenda: he is searching for a child, stolen away from his financier, and Blue may be the one he is after. Promising to return when Blue becomes a man, the warlord leaves. And like all children in the world of Theia, Blue must complete the ritual hunt on his thirteenth birthday. However, when the hunt does not go as planned, Blue's adoptive father turns on him. What follows is Blue's self-imposed exile, his journey into adulthood, his tragic love life, and his rise to power.

"Shall I start at the beginning, before I understood the implications of my future? I remember how it happened, but it is the 'why' that escapes me. Perhaps that no longer matters. Here, at the end of Theia, as I stand in view of its destruction, I will pour out my memory, not as a matter of record—that would be pointless now—but as a matter of conviction. I must accept responsibility for the damnation I have sentenced on others. Yet maybe in retelling the 'how,' you will come to understand the 'why.' Yes, that is the only way I can recount the evidence and atone. But I must do so quickly. Every day, the sky falls darker, and the Earth grows brighter."
