Tamas's invasion of Kez ends in disaster when a Kez counter-offensive leaves him cut off behind enemy lines with only a fraction of his army, no supplies and no hope of reinforcements. Drastically outnumbered and pursued by the enemy's best, he must lead his men on a reckless march through northern Kez to safety, and back over the mountains so that he can defend his country from an angry god.
In Adro, Inspector Adamat only wants to rescue his wife. To do so he must track down and confront the evil Lord Vetas. He has questions for Vetas concerning his enigmatic master, but the answers might come too quickly.
With Tamas and his powder cabal presumed dead, Taniel Two-shot finds himself alongside the god Mihali as the last line of defence against Kresimir's advancing army. Tamas's generals bicker among themselves, the brigades lose ground every day beneath the Kez onslaught and Kresimir wants the head of the man who shot him in the eye.

Es herrscht Krieg und Tamas kann kaum genug Truppen heranziehen, um sein Land zu verteidigen. Ein gewagter Plan ist die einzige Möglichkeit, den Kez einen empf...

“Let the Kez come,” Tamas roared. “Let them send their greatest generals after us. Let them stack the odds against us. Let them come upon us with all their fury, because these hounds at our heels will soon know we are lions!”Brian McClellan is a genius storyteller. There's no doubt about it. The way...
I enjoyed this one more than the first one—probably because, with the foundations of his world now established, the author focused more this time on the characters. There were some really good insights into Tamas's mind (his feelings at seeing all his loved ones always taken away from him, his burni...
