Fighting against a powerful foe is never easy and that too when you are entering his domain. Brian McClellan makes his main character i.e Tamas enter into the enemy zone and then along with his team he has to run for his life. The mission gets wrong when the Kez counter in a very special way which was not expected by Tamas and his team. The team loses many of its soldiers and then in frustration, they start running towards the North to find some shelter against the skilled men that are chasing them.
Kresimir i.e the god who is after them is not ready to forgive them for their mistake. Thus the team can either fight or wait for its death at the hands of a cruel enemy that does not possess a merciful heart. Threats are emerging from all sides like Promise of Blood and Sins of Empire. At home things are not going well for anyone; Adamat also digs up something dark in an attempt to save his wife.
Then the false news of Tamas’ death reaches home that further weakens the hope of the people which they had in mind related to the man. All they wanted was to eradicate their enemy and in the process of doing so, they bring a threat to their homeworld at a time when their real heroes are not present to defend the land.
Help is desperately needed and there is a hope that Tamas and his men might come in time and save their world from collapsing. Christian Rodska has narrated in a sweet voice, according to some more mature of heavy voice was needed for the war situation but the clarity is superb. So no change is needed in that regard because clarity is always the most important thing in narration.
