They say Black Dow has 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 neighbor, is not about to stand by smiling while Black Dow 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 honor 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 honor, 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...

Hela boken utspelar sig under ett tre-dagars krig, och den ger en väldigt genomtänkt känsla. Det enda mindre bra är att man nästan måste ha läst de tidigare böckerna för att hänga med helt och hållet. Mycket våld, mycket gore och finurlig dialog!

Bra bok, men synd att den bara handlar om krig, krig och krig. Abercrombie kan så mycket mer...
