The intriguing paradox of Lord Kitcheners life is this despite being destined to become the staunchest adversary of Mahomedanism, he was, in many ways, an exceptional ally to Mahomedans. (Summary quoted from Gilbert Keith Chesterton)

The most feared warlord on the continent has a problem. His cook just quit. Again. Winnie Fothergill had the finest kitchen in the capital until one wrong dish ended her career in front of everyone who mattered. Now the only post that will take her sits inside Stonemaw Keep, seat of the Dark Lord of the Ashfell Reaches, a man whose name makes armies reconsider their travel plans.

Horatio Herbert Kitchener, born on June 1850 in Ballylongford, County Kerry, Ireland was a great soldier and statesman. Kitchener was credited in 1898 for winning the Battle of Omdurman and securing control of the Sudan for which he was made Lord Kitchener of Khartoum, becoming a qualifying peer and of mid-rank as an Earl. On 5 June 1916, Kitchener was making his way to Russia to attend negotiations, on HMS Hampshire, when it struck a German mine just west of the Orkney, Scotland and sank. Kitchener was among 737 who died. This is his story.
