From an unmissable voice in epic fantasy comes a sweeping tale of clashing guilds, magic-fueled machines, and revolution. The nation of Torwyn is run on the power of industry, and industry is run by the Guilds. Chief among them are the Hawkspurs, whose responsibility it is to keep the gears of the empire turning. That's exactly why matriarch Rosomon Hawkspur sends each of her heirs to the far reaches of the nation. Conall, the eldest son, is sent to the distant frontier to earn his stripes in the military. It is here that he faces a threat he could have never seen coming: the first rumblings of revolution. Tyreta is a sorceress with the ability to channel the power of pyrestone, the magical resource that fuels the empire's machines. She is sent to the mines to learn more about how pyrsetone is harvested - but instead, she finds the dark horrors of industry that the empire would prefer to keep hidden. The youngest, Fulren, is a talented artificer and finds himself acting as a guide to a mysterious foreign emissary. Soon after, he is framed for a crime he never committed. A crime that could start a war. As the Hawkspurs grapple with the many threats that face the nation within and without, they must finally prove themselves worthy-or their empire will fall apart. "A heady blend of action, arcana, and intrigue." -Gareth Hanrahan, author of The Gutter Prayer

SOUTH VIETNAM--1965--INITIAL MILITARY BUILDUP

Lieutenant David Jeffries is deployed with a company of army engineers to a backward country where foreign combatants have invaded rural areas and insurgents threaten urban centers. There, faced with conflicting goals of supporting allied combat units and befriending local civilians, he struggles to identify and deal with the principles of right and wrong conduct.

Jeffries wants to be a good soldier, but he finds that difficult because of puzzling ethical choices he has to make. He unwittingly faces life-threatening combat situations with conditioned courage when called upon to support the 101st Airborne and the 1st Air Cavalry Division. He reluctantly becomes embroiled in political struggles over policies regarding civilians. Influenced by people with diametrically opposed philosophies--Captain John Slaughter, an Airborne Ranger, and Lieutenant Joe Goodrich, a self-declared peacenik--Jeffries tries to find acceptable common ground through a passed-over major who is due to retire and two trusted but misguided sergeants.

From the battlefields to the brothels, from the tents to the temples, "Noble Conflict" gives a unique perspective of unconventional war through the eyes of a trained soldier trying to do his ethical best under unusual circumstances and preconditions established not by him, but by others.
