War is coming, the kingdoms need to unite and warriors need to be ready to sharpen their swords as they prepare to fight. A narrative which is crafted like a beautiful sword sharpened with a range of deep and varied characters. With so many characters you almost need to take a note of who is who and how they are entangled. A powerful coming of age saga with conflicted an array of souls who need to pick which side they’re on. A tour de force of a  beginning to what I imagine is an epic saga.
