They say Black Dow's killed more men than winter, and clawed his
way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the
Union, ever a jealous neighbour, is not about to stand smiling by
while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given and
the armies are toiling through the northern mud. Thousands of men
are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill,
in an unimportant valley, and they've brought a lot of sharpened
metal with them. Bremer dan Gorst, disgraced master swordsman, has
sworn to reclaim his stolen honour on the battlefield. Obsessed
with redemption and addicted to violence, he's far past caring how
much blood gets spilled in the attempt. Even if it's his own.
Prince Calder isn't interested in honour, and still less in getting
himself killed. All he wants is power, and he'll tell any lie, use
any trick, and betray any friend to get it. Just as long as he
doesn't have to fight for it himself. Curnden Craw, the last honest
man in the North, has gained nothing from a life of warfare but
swollen knees and frayed nerves. He hardly even cares who wins any
more, he just wants to do the right thing. But can he even tell
what that is with the world burning down around him? Over three
bloody days of battle, the fate of the North will be decided. But
with both sides riddled by intrigues, follies, feuds and petty
jealousies, it is unlikely to be the noblest hearts, or even the
strongest arms that prevail. Three men. One battle. No Heroes.
