Springtime in Styria. And that means war.
There have been nineteen years of blood. The ruthless Grand Duke Orso is locked in a vicious struggle with the squabbling League of Eight, and between them they have bled the land white. While armies march, heads roll and cities burn, behind the scenes bankers, priests and older, darker powers play a deadly game to choose who will be king.
War may be hell but for Monza Murcatto, the Snake of Talins, the most feared and famous mercenary in Duke Orso's employ, it's a damn good way of making money too. Her victories have made her popular - a shade too popular for her employer's taste. Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead, Murcatto's reward is a broken body and a burning hunger for vengeance. Whatever the cost, seven men must die.
Her allies include Styria's least reliable drunkard, Styria's most treacherous poisoner, a mass-murderer obsessed with numbers and a Northman who just wants to do the right thing. Her enemies number the better half of the nation. And that's all before the most dangerous man in the world is dispatched to hunt her down and finish the job Duke Orso started...

Utroligt interessant bog med et gennemtænkt persongalleri og fed humor. Det er en af de mest velskrevne bøger jeg har læst. Kan varmt anbefales. 😃

Amazing story of revenge, ambition and amazing characters. Cosca just jumps of the page and must be regarded as one of the most well-realized fantasy characters of all time

Joe skaber nogle fantastiske nye karakterer og uddyber historien om shivers og cosga. Stor fan af hans evne til at beskrive kamp scener, 🤩

Meget god - lidt svær/træg i starten, men det betaler sig at blive ved. Næsten Cohen-film-agtig sort humor det meste af bogen.
