New York Times Bestselling Author

In the frozen Northlands of Midkemia, Captain Dennis Hartraft’s Marauders have just had a disastrous encounter with their sworn enemy, the Tsurani. Wounded and disheartened, the Mauraders set out for the shelter of a frontier garrison. They don’t know that a Tsurani patrol is sent to support an assault on that same garrison. Arriving simultaneously, the Marauders and Tsurani find the outpost already overrun by a dark enemy whose ferocity is legendary in Midkemia. In order to survive, the foes must band together and fight as one.

As they make their way across the inhospitable climate, the two batallions struggle not only with the elements and their enemy, but also their consciences. Can their hatred for their mutual enemy overcome their distrust of each other? And, with both sides carrying painful scars from past wars, what is more important: one’s life or one’s honor?

Wasn’t sure when the narrator has changed the first books, but he did a really good job!

Wasn’t sure when the narrator has changed the first books, but he did a really good job! It was a great story to follow up the last book series. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Reliably Good--engaging and fast paced.

I was hesitant, the plot seemed trite or tired at first, but no, it was very good. All the characters are true to form, and the world of Midkemia is true to form. The books reads quickly (listens quickly?) you will be sad when it is over, but very glad you listened. I recommend this if you like the Riftwar books.

Expected it to be Good, got Fantastic.

Story brought me back to a world I spent a lot of time in as a youth. Nostalgic, true to the original books and a great jump back into earlier times on Midkemia if you've found yourself deep into later books in the timeline, but missing the earlier struggles of the original Riftwar.

Excellent story

I enjoyed the character and world building of this book. Another great story about the world of Midkemia.

This is a beautiful story

This was an amazing story! Absolutely brilliant. Narrator did an excellent job telling this tale.
