Summary

Tani’s world has never been peaceful. Torn between the many cultures that meet on the Chorhan Expanse, the greatest threat they now face is an expansionist army of monstrous nonhumans who call themselves the mansthein.

To take her place as a full warrior of her tribe, Tani must travel across the vast grasslands of the Chorhan Expanse. But she has her sights set higher than a mere ritual journey: She wants to uncover a solution to the impending war that threatens her people.

Tani believes that peace may be possible, but there are others on both sides who believe in legends that tell of monsters with zealous devotion. All around her, warriors have their eyes on a glorious victory with no concern for the piles of bodies they'll create on the way.

She will be joined by a killer pretending to be a healer, a mansthein commander struggling with his orders, a thief who pawned her heart of gold, and a strategist exiled from a foreign land. But none of them are the Hero.

It doesn't matter how many shades of gray might exist, some people see only in black and white. And the terrifying truth is that the stories they tell might not be just legends.

Great listen

It took me a while to get used to the two narrators voices and adjust to the perspective that gave. I felt chucked in at the deep end at the start of the book but u enjoyed figuring out the characters, their backgrounds and the the world in which the story takes place.

Poor narration

Bought the book because of Elizabeth Evans narration.
She was great as usual but Mikael was not and there styles and voice didn’t match in any way.
I only listened to a couple of chapters and it just jarred too much.
Story was ok for those chapters.
