I was thrilled at the level of world building that went on in this book. The setting is every bit as I imagined it would be with a dashing title like that, and the characters jump off of the page and into you head like you’ve known them all your life. Great read!!

A very quick read with lots of worldbuilding that felt organic, made this desert-like world real. The characters seem 3D--with their actions and backstories--and I feel these characters are going to have a long road ahead of them.

An exciting Bronze Age sword and sorcery adventure. The world-building was just fantastic. I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to reading the sequel!
