Mage's Blood

Most of the time the Leviathan Bridge lies deep below the sea, but every twelve years, when the tides sink and the Moontide comes, it is revealed - linking Eastern and Western continents.
At first, traders went back and forth across the bridge, but then the Rondian Empire - hell bent on ruling the East - sent its first two Crusades, and its mage-led armies pillaged their way across the new world.
Now the Third Crusade is mustering, and this time the peoples of the East will fight back.
But for all these massing powers, it is three ordinary people - a failed mage, a market girl and a jaded mercenary - who will determine the fate of the world.
