Synopsis

With a single blow, Cete won both honor and exile from his last commander. Since then he has wandered, looking for a place to call home. The distant holdings of the Reach Antach offer shelter, but that promise has a price.

The Reach Antach is doomed.

Barbarians, traitors, and scheming investors conspire to destroy the burgeoning settlement. A wise man would move on, but Cete has found reason to stay. A blind weaver-woman and the beautiful sunset mantle lure the warrior to wager everything he has left on one final chance to turn back the hungry tides of war.

6,5/10 Esta es una de esas novelas que se deja leer bien, tiene un personaje protagonista interesante, el worldbuilding no está mal, pero que se ve penalizada por una trama con demasiado rollo conspiratorio y de leyes que al final se hace un poco pesado, ya que corta el ritmo de la historia.
