"Strikingly intense...immersive and thoroughly compelling." (SFX)

"Compelling and entertaining...inventive and fun." (SciFiNow)

The war is over, but something is rotten in the state of Eidyn.

With a ragged peace in place, demons burn farmlands, violent Reivers roam the wilds and plague has spread beyond the Black Meadows. The country is on its knees.

In a society that fears and shuns him, Aranok is the first magically-skilled draoidh to be named King's Envoy.

Now, charged with restoring an exiled foreign queen to her throne, he leads a group of strangers across the ravaged country. But at every step, a new mystery complicates their mission.

As bodies drop around them, new threats emerge and lies are revealed, can Aranok bring his companions together and uncover the conspiracy that threatens the kingdom?

Strap in for this twisted fantasy road trip from award-winning author Justin Lee Anderson.

A D&D-esque adventure with several twists you wouldn't expect. The characters are very well fleshed out, with special attention to the women. A not so minor, albeit clearly unintentional, slip in calling the undead curse "blackening". I say unintentional because inclusivity is a huge underlying theme in the story, especially when it comes to the persecution of the draoidhs, the magic users of this setting.
The world building is not revolutionary, but solid, and the world is detailed and coherent, its rules clear enough that, when it comes to understanding a magical twist, it comes natural.
I needed some getting used to the performance, but once it clicked, I enjoyed it a lot.
in the end, a very good title.

A solid reading
