Rhinogres - Medieval Mayhem, #1 - E-book - ePub

The Rhinogres are a mercenary army of creatures that are the cross between rhinoceroses and ogres. Hobgoblins are also members of the army. They live in mediaeval times and are based in the Caucasus Mountains in Eastern Europe. The Rhinogres in the army are not the brightest bunch and only two have any real intelligence and they are the leader and the second in command. Even the sorcerers who were supposed to be gifted were lacking in grey matter.
They are accompanied by powerful beasts such as sabre-tooth tigers, mammoths, horned yaks and mountainboars. The army has been asked by the incumbent king of the land of the Dead in Egypt to help solve a mystery and to assist him in putting down a coup. Just getting to the Land of the Dead is in itself quite an arduous task as they have to avoid trolls, swamps, goblins, shifting sands, orcs and thirst.
Once the army arrive in Thebes on the Nile River, they are taken to see the king. The land they had arrived at was well named as all men and creatures were nothing but skeletons. The king's own guard was comprised of The Land of the Dead's own fantastic beasts including manticores and gigantic skeletal cobras. Only the wisdom of their two best and brightest, some bravery and a great deal of luck see them survive and triumph.
