(PRLeap.com) "In Defense of Crothen", a new book by Thaddeus Van Note, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Author Thaddeus Van Note announces the release of his new short story, "In Defense of Crothen", a fantasy tale that delves into themes of trauma, sacrifice, and hope amidst the chaos of war.

The story follows a wandering swordsman with a haunted past who flees to the town of Crothen to warn them of an impending attack by the formidable Nokruv Sovereignty. The city of Raozu has fallen, and Crothen, with no army and outmaneuvered allies, is next. The swordsman must join forces with the town's marshal and his wife, both seasoned by their own experiences with suffering and combat, to hold back the invasion and protect the innocent.

In Defense of Crothen is more than a simple action narrative; it's a poignant exploration of the human spirit. The story acknowledges the painful realities of loss and conflict but highlights the profound beauty of forgiveness, righteousness, and familial love. It champions the idea of letting go of personal pain to find healing and become a better person, offering readers an inspiring and wholesome perspective on life.
