One in which disputes are often settled with the blade, and treachery rarely goes unpunished.

That sense of being in the midst of the battle, of wielding the sword or axe, hearing the clash of iron or the agony of the fallen, and smelling the stench of death. Those are the scenes in which this author excels. They move at a lightning quick pace and grab the reader in a grasp so tight it seems hard to breathe until the scene is over." - ReedsyViggo is pure action-hero in this epic tale of politics, war, treachery, loyalty, and hope.
