Victories aren't won by swords alone!

A vast army is invading. King Halleck has only one hope: Murdlong Pass, a high, narrow gap in the desert mountains. Summoning every man, King Hallek arrives at the last castle before marching his troops out into the desert where not one drop of water will be found.
Having never lived outside his calm, orderly castle, Galloway is thrown into chaos. Finding himself responsible for providing food, water, horses, hay, weapons, and supplies for 5,000 knights and soldiers ... with inadequate resources, Galloway frets; without adequate supplies, their army can't fight.
Challenged to control Diana, Baron Theodolf's beautiful but demanding daughter, Galloway struggles with dwindling stores to feed his army of hungry soldiers. Soon everyone hates Galloway. Yet, when the war goes badly, Galloway must prove his management skills are as imperative to victory as the sword of any warrior ... or he may lose the war, his kingdom, and Diana.
