No one could have been prepared for the day when orcs, trolls, and dragons fell from portals in the sky. But now a very tough but not-quite-prepared platoon of Marines is trapped on the wrong side. The enchanting world looks like Middle Earth, but to the dismay of even the geekiest soldiers, is nothing like it. While the Marines fend off dangerous, improbable, and very rude assailants, their mission is to escort a Very Important Princess who could broker a crucial strategic alliance between worlds. What could possibly go wrong?.

"In a city where books are forbidden, the life of Lilith, the youngest royal of Ninetha, has been one of hard training. But Lilith's days have also contained many pleasures, including privileges of the Cornucopia, a mystical source of limitless bounty. Lilith has never seen a book, and she never expects to encounter one within the safety of the citadel. When Ishmael, an outcast librarian, arrives outside the Afriq Gate, Lilith saves him from immediate execution by her father's second-in-command, the zealot Kira. When Lilith's curiosity draws her to Ishmael, she lets slip her family's most dangerous secret to Kira, sparking a deadly rebellion and an unexpected journey full of stunning revelations."--
