"Simultaneously published in Great Britain and in the U.S. by Orbit in 2019"--Title page verso.
"This is the story of Orhan, son of Siyyah Doctus Felix Praeclarrissimus, and his history of the Great Siege, written down so that the deeds and sufferings of great men may never be forgotten. A siege is approaching, and the city has little time to prepare. The people have no food and no weapons, and the enemy has sworn to slaughter them all. To save the city will take a miracle, but what it has is Orhan. A colonel of engineers, Orhan has far more experience with bridge-building than battles, is a cheat and a liar, and has a serious problem with authority. He is, in other words, perfect for the job."--Back cover.

Best book I've read in ages submitted by rlboeder on July 2, 2021, 11:39pm It's been years since I've been this captivated by a fantasy title. Excellent world building, witty banter, fun characters, but still with real stakes to the conflict. Just perfect. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author!

fantastic writing submitted by apknapp on July 19, 2024, 11:43pm KJ parker is just so, so good at what he does. Amazing and perfectly flawed characters, tense plotting, unpredictable outcomes.
