Personal thoughts: I've been meaning to read this book for quite some time. Would I Recommend?: Yes, with some caveats W ell-Written/Editor Needed: Well-written Series/Standalone: First book in a projected trilogyĬontent Warnings: Heavy on-page violence and character death When her unit of conscripts is stationed in Qazāl, the land of her birth, Touraine's loyalty to the empire that raised her is tested not only by her forgotten ties to the Qazāli rebels but by the scheming of Princess Luca, heir to the Balladairan throne and governor of Qazāl. Touraine is one of those stolen children, trained as a soldier in the Balladairan army but never regarded by her commanders as truly human. Summary: The empire of Balladaire has "civilized" their neighbors through brutal oppression: executing anyone suspected of resistance, stealing their children, and rendering them second-class citizens in their own land.
