- About the book
- Conflict and commitment in the shadow of a city’s downfall
The raiding ships have come before, but this time it is different. This time the attackers are
coming to stay, and defensive walls will not hold them back. Nowhere is safe. One by one,
the great kings and their vassal cities collapse as the newcomers advance.
The land is already a patchwork of many different peoples, bound together in a fragile web of
traditional alliances and rivalries. How will political and personal promises change with the
arrival of the new clans? Is war inevitable, or can a different answer be found?
Walk with refugees, migrants, and defenders of the land alike, as they struggle to create a
different way of life beside the ruins of the old. Can alliance, commitment and love survive the turmoil?
