Autor Leo Carewen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 apr 2018
A
young
lord
faces
off
against
an
ingenious
general
in
an
epic
fantasy
that's
"twisty
in
its
political
maneuverings,
gritty
in
its
battle
descriptions,
and
rich
with
a
sense
of
heroism
and
glory."
(Publishers
Weekly)
Beyond
the
Black
River,
among
the
forests
and
mountains
of
the
north,
lives
an
ancient
race
of
people.
Their
lives
are
measured
in
centuries,
not
decades;
they
revel
in
wilderness
and
resilience,
and
they
scorn
wealth
and
comfort.
By
contrast,
those
in
the
south
live
in
the
moment,
their
lives
more
fleeting.
They
crave
wealth
and
power;
their
ambition
is
limitless,
and
their
cunning
unmatched.
When
the
armies
of
the
south
flood
across
the
Black
river,
the
fragile
peace
between
the
two
races
is
shattered.
On
a
lightning-struck
battlefield,
the
two
sides
will
fight
-
for
their
people,
for
their
land,
for
their
very
survival.
