Sunset Mantle

An exiled warrior pledges his loyalty to a military with many enemies in this epic fantasy novella. With a single blow, Cete won both honor and exile from his last commander. Since then he has wandered, looking for a place to call home. The distant holdings of the Reach Antach offer shelter, but that promise has a price. The Reach Antach is doomed. Barbarians, traitors, and scheming investors conspire to destroy the burgeoning settlement. A wise man would move on, but Cete has found reason to stay. A blind weaver-woman and the beautiful sunset mantle lure the warrior to wager everything he has left on one final chance to turn back the hungry tides of war. "A beautifully structured story, with solid and original characters who could have come from no other time and place than this fascinating imagined history." —Jo Walton, award-winning author of The Just City "[Sunset Mantle] bears comparison, in a way, with the work of K. J. Parker . . . but with none of the cynicism. The pleasures are real." ―Locus
