So I stumbled onto this series from an ad targeted to me on Facebook a while back, and because it looked and sounded so fascinating to me, I decided to save it and add it to my TBR. Over the weekend as I was looking through my TBR spreadsheet, this popped out at me and since I haven’t read a lot of historical fiction based on this time period and of the people, I decided that I needed to at least give the short 58 page prequel a shot to see if I’d be interested in reading the rest of the series. Well… I’m going to read the rest of the series!
This is the of 3 characters we will get to know more about in book 1 and beyond. Chen Han who is a martial arts bad-ass, has to deal with false allegations that forced him to leave the only family he knows. Mu Feng, a young tactical genius who is questioning his faith to the emperor. And finally Ah Go, who witnesses everything he loves destroyed. I really like Han and Go’s stories as they are both being relegated to restart from nothing to find absolution and vengeance.
This got dark, and trigger warning, there is baby killing and rape scenes that are pretty graphic. While this is absolutely dark and horrendous, the author is showing a very graphic and honest picture of how the Mongols were when they raided and pillaged. This part may turn people off, but it is a major plot device for a character involved.

Prequel
This is a nice prequel to the overall books. I enjoyed the backstory of the three characters. It could have been a little longer, but otherwise it was okay.

I found the story sufficiently entertaining, but wasn't compelled to continue reading further.
