<p>Eight years have passed since the colony at the hippozones was destroyed, and the conflict with the Noori has escalated until the Filpini rulers are forced to admit a full-scale war is inevitable. Rumpo and Basordan are sent on a hazardous journey to seek an alliance with the people of Indesse, while the Filpini soldiers struggle to keep the ever-increasing number of Noori away from the border.</p>

<p><i>Brothers In Arms</i> is the second volume in B.A. Seloaf's epic fantasy tale about the hippos of Filpini and their age-old fight against the Noori. In this book Seloaf takes the story to a new level, forcing his characters to deal with the conflicting interests of different nations as well as with internal power struggles. It's a compelling tale where the reader is torn between hope and despair, and where the most triumphant moment can turn into utter defeat in the blink of an eye.<p>
