* THE THRILLING FINALE TO THE SPECTACULAR SWORD-AND-SANDAL EPIC * 'One of the genre's greatest standard-bearers' - REACTOR 'A real tale of guts and glory' - FALCATA TIMES 'A wonderful story of a nation's rise from barbarism' - FANTASY BOOK REVIEW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN RECORDED HISTORY, THE FEROCIOUS CITY-STATES OF THE MACHT NOW ACKNOWLEDGE A SINGLE MAN AS THEIR OVERLORD. Corvus, the strange and brilliant boy-general, is now High King, having united his people in a fearsome, bloody series of battles and sieges. He is not yet thirty years old. A generation ago, ten thousand of the Macht marched into the heart of the ancient Asurian Empire, and then fought their way back out again, passing into legend. It has been the enduring myth of Corvus' life, for his father was one of those who undertook that march, and his most trusted general, Rictus, was leader of those ten thousand. But he intends to do more. The preparations will take years, but when they are complete, Corvus will lead an invasion the like of which the world of Kuf has never seen. Under him, the Macht will undertake nothing less than the overthrow of the entire Asurian Empire.
A triumphant finale... As fine and fitting a conclusion to this best-in-class military fantasy saga as I could have imagined. Paul Kearney is clearly one of the genre's greatest standard-bearers, and he has never - ever - been better * Reactor *
I've loved this series since the first outing... A real tale of guts and glory * Falcata Times *
An able conclusion to a wonderful story of a nation's rise from barbarism * Fantasy Book Review *
