Built on the natural way which connects Thessalia with north Greece, Farsala is the passing from south to north and because of that it frequently became field of historical conflicts, of which the most significant is this that occured in BC 48, between Julius Caesar and Pompeius, known as "the battle of Farsala".

 Rambles: Hilari Bell, The Farsala Trilogy #2: Rise of a Hero   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In a field crowded with dark lords, orphans of unusual parentage, magical gizmos and the ever popular magic/deus-ex-machinas, Hilari Bell's thoughtful, smartly paced and well-characterized young adult SF/F novels are a breath of fresh air indeed.
The middle book of the Farsala Trilogy, Rise of a Hero starts right where Fall of a Kingdom left off, in the aftermath of the Hrum invasion that killed or enslaved almost all the nobles ("deghans") of Farsala.
And Kavi, the peasant whose hatred of the deghans led him to betray them to the Hrum, has changed sides: envisioning a Farsala freed from both deghans and Hrum, he now uses his position as a Hrum spy to Farsalan advantage, deviously undermining the Hrum and joining Jiaan in supporting the besieged city Mazad.

The Farsala saga continues gaining more suspense and more action, but the very end was a little dissappointing.
If they can resist the Hrum from conquering every part of Farsala for one year, then they can claim their independence and be assured the Hrum will never invade Farsala again.
While the ending is fairly obvious (the author wouldn't take you through three books just to have the main characters lose the war), how she takes you there is quite the journey.
