About this item

"Intriguing story structure...imaginative cast of beastlike characters...with a little Shakespearean tragedy around the edges." - Kirkus ReviewsA tyrant has risen in the shadowy aftermath of a great war. Whispers of his intent and cruelty spread across the landscape, and many he considers to be enemies either go into hiding or keep a blade ready. Hardly anything can prevent his army from annihilating the clans that surround him, but one of them realizes that a preemptive attack will certainly give them a fighting chance.Prequel: Battle of KindsBook 1: Against a TyrantBook 2: The Great Protectors
