Overall Content Rating: Restricted R
This military fantasy follows legion officers and soldiers through harsh campaigns, political pressure, and large-scale battles in a Tolkien-influenced world of elves, dwarves, and magic. Parents should expect sustained war violence with graphic injury detail and regular profanity in rank-and-file speech. Stronger language is present but not constant; sexual content is mostly referenced rather than shown, including talk of rape against civilians and a passing mention of prostitution. There is no sampled LGBTQ+, racism, or blasphemy theme in the provided material; horror elements are mainly combat stress and supernatural threats in a war setting.

About this book
A tarnished legacy. A dangerous mission. An epic destiny… Abandoned and cut off from friendly lines, Stiger takes the fight to the enemy! A nobleman from an infamous family, imperial legionary officer, and a born fighter… Captain Ben Stiger captured Castle Vrell and rid it of a minion of a dark god. Now he finds himself cut off from the empire with a hostile rebel army marching on the legion’s fortress where they guard the entrance to the Vrell Valley. It is not in Stiger’s nature to simply wait for the enemy. Badly outnumbered and facing odds greater than twenty to one, he sets out to impede the enemy’s advance and show them the steel that the legions are made of. To help him on his way he has the services of his friend, Eli one of the last remaining elven rangers. As if matters could not get worse, an army of dwarves is preparing to retake Castle Vrell, a sacred place they name Grata’Kor. There are forces at play greater than Stiger can imagine. To survive, he must not only contend with a well-supported rebel army, but a hostile dwarven nation intent on fulfilling a mysterious prophecy that has the potential to shatter the world and bring ruin to the empire. The battle to save the empire and the world continues in this action-packed adventure. Buy the Stiger’s Tigers award-winning series!
