It’s time for Monster Hunter International to go to war.

Destruction is in Jame Knorth’s nature. She is the avatar of a god known as That-Which-Destroys, the god of chaos and ruin. Yet Jame is also a noblewoman of an ancient race. Jame’s people are fleeing, world by world, from a terrible enemy that has pursued them through a multitude of universes. Its name is Perimal Darkling.

Jame sets out to reestablish the long-fallen castle keep of Tagmeth as an outpost against the gathering dark power. But Tagmeth hides a secret, a gateway to a mystery that may save this world from eternal darkness—or plunge it to destruction and ruin all the sooner. It is up to Jame to find her way through Perimal Darkling’s traps, and to come to terms with the god of pandemonium and destruction within herself. If she succeeds, it may be that Perimal Darkling can finally be defeated after eons of fear and flight. And if she fails, yet another world will fall to darkness forever.

Lee—master tactician though he was—was not enough of a strategist to keep the North at bay long enough to declare victory. In this month’s new nonfiction essay, J.R. Dunn explores Lee’s strengths and weaknesses as a military commander.
