The siren call of conflict beckons in the Mournful Sea. Unicorn galleys harry the coastlines, pegasi barbarians swarm from the frozen north in desperation, and earth ponies dream of empire and deliverance from the depredations of the Unicorn Shore. 

An age of total war brings with it the promise of power and glory. For a human stranded in a land of warlike unicorns, such an opportunity signals the only hope of escaping life as a glorified pet. Saul of Earth must seize this chance and rise or be forgotten, live or die by the strength of his arms and the sharpness of his wits. 

But to do so will mean to juggle the ambitions of unicorn princesses, barbarians, and even his own. For ambition breeds animosity, and along the cold shores of the Mournful Sea enemies abound and danger lurks in every shadow.

The time is ripe for upheaval, and beyond the edges of the known world unseen threats stir in the shadows...

Succinctly described as: Reverse Gender Roles, low fantasy, early medieval/ancient Mesopotamian inspired adventure where a human must integrate in a world strongly linked to Equestria and use his knowledge of earth's history to rise through society.
