About the Book
It is twenty-three years since
a Macht army fought its way home from the heart of the Asurian Empire.
The man who came to lead that army, Rictus, is now a hard-bitten
mercenary captain, middle-aged and tired. He wants nothing more than to
lay down his spear and become the farmer that his father was. But fate
has different ideas. A young war-leader has risen to challenge the order
of things in the very heartlands of the Macht. A soldier of genius, he
takes city after city, and reigns over them as king. What is more, he
had heard of the legendary leader of the Ten Thousand.
His name is Corvus, and the rumours say that he is not even fully human. He means to make himself absolute ruler of all the Macht. And he wants Rictus to help him.
