Summary
The Duke of Canarn is dead, executed by the King's decree. The city lies in chaos, its people starving, sickening, and tyrannized by the ongoing presence of the King's mercenary army. But still hope remains: the Duke's children, the Lord Bromvy and Lady Bronwyn, have escaped their father's fate.
Separated by enemy territory, hunted by the warrior clerics of the One God, Bromvy undertakes to win back the city with the help of the secretive outcasts of the Darkwald forest, the Dokkalfar. The Lady Bronwyn makes for the sanctuary of the Grass Sea and the warriors of Ranen with the mass of the King's forces at her heels. And in the mountainous region of Fjorlan, the High Thain Algenon Teardrop launches his Dragon Fleet against the Red Army.
Brother wars against brother in this, the epic first volume of the 'Long War' series.

Sheer storytelling craft
Strong characters and storytelling. A dark humour that strongly appeals. A vivid fantasy setting all of which hook you and leave you wanting more. I find myself waiting for my favourite characters to die horribly, ala A certain Mr Martin. Combat descriptions reminded me of the great mr Cornwell. Cannot praise highly enough

Audible should really warn you about selling only the first book of a series in audiobook format , finished this book and wanted to download the other two only to find out they haven't been made in audio format grrrrrrrrrrr

standard fare
Much scene setting here, and a million characters. Will get next one in series and give it a chance. Short too
