Excerpt from The Caverns of Crail: A Novel Like an avalanche, the mysterious hordes had swept down from the steppes of central Asia and desolated Eran and Persis. The peoples of these and all the surrounding countries had fled in terror before the fanatical warriors of the Sapor, that unknown King of Kings and ruler over all the clans of Arya. The so-called Holy War had spent its fury, simply because there was nothing more upon which to vent its wrath. Phraortes, king of Eran, had fled his beautiful city, Ecbatana, and was now a refugee, in hiding some where along the borders of the Persian gulf. His queen, and little Prince Cyaxares, two years old, had been sent to a small city, Baleria, which was ensconced in a queer little country at the mouth of the river Pol, he having placed them in the care of his captain of guards, Deioces. He knew not whether they were safe from danger or had perished, there fore, upon the first intimation of a lull in the terrible war, he attempted to return to Baleria.
