-Pressed into Service-Facing a crisis, and looking for any excuse to strike in force against the orcs occupying the hills to their south, the city-state Kashmer conscripts privateers and adventurers into war. A band of strangers must learn to support and adapt to each other as a daring plan separates them from the main force in hostile territory. Each possess their own mystery, but without cooperation and trust, they will be doomed to failure.

Pressed into Service is the introduction to the bold Pilgrims with Blades series.

-Pilgrims with Blades-The half-orc savage, who takes pride in a company he no longer serves. The dusk-skinned archer, carrying a bow from her forgotten homeland. The dwarf who studies the past so he can create a future. The knight who pays fealty to no lord. The elf sorceress seeking knowledge, but what specific question is she trying to answer?They will band together, seeking separate goals. How far will pilgrims travel to discover who they are?

Author Douglas Van Dyke Jr, inspired by the Conan series of adventures by Robert E. Howard, begins an epic tale drawn around five characters. Each has their own concealed mystery they attempt to pursue: life-quests driving them to the ends of the Realm of Dhea Loral. Their individual pilgrimages cause them to band together as they face their failings and fears.
