"And the slavers are sorting the captives as we speak," Dreibrand concluded.
Kwan had listened to the figures and facts, enjoying the thoroughness.
"Excellent, Dreibrand. Everything is going well," Kwan said.
"And we are almost off the map, my Lord," Dreibrand said.
Kwan smiled because the Wilderness intrigued him as well. When he had conquered all the rich kingdoms outside Atrophane, his attention had turned to the mysterious lands beyond the known lands of Ektren. If he could take what belonged to any man, he could certainly take what belonged to no man.

Standard medieval fantasy starting with an adventure-like beginning. Well written and well planned plot. It hooked me thoughout. I'm even willing to buy the sequel if not too expensive.

The author managed to hook me with this tale. Well written plot with a nice depth to the main players. This story had all the essential ingredients with well described fight scenes and a nice romance to boot. The ruthless Queen and her evil allies were just nasty enough to keep you wishing for their demise. I was keen to read the next book in the series although disappointed that it was not available in the excellent manybooks collection. I will certainly be on the lookout for books two and three in the series.
