Gratefully, considering the Revolution theme we didn’t have to wade through pages of blood and beheadings, but the backdrop added well to the undertone for the narrative and the characters stories and motives are portrayed well because of it. This premise screams off the page and the mix of gunpowder, muskets and magic didn’t initially pique my appetite thankfully I was wrong (it's surprising how often that happens). Initially I was unsure concerning backdrop for the story, the French Revolution. Tamas must rely on his friends and alienated son Taniel if his people and the Nine Nations are to survive. Legends long hidden may rue the day when Old Gods return and Field Marshal Tamas’s coup against a failing, rotten and self-indulgent royalty balances on a knife edge. Sometimes to build new you must burn the old. In a time of upheaval, resurgence and corrupted Royalty Privileged, one-man’s love for his lost wife and his country burns and fuels a new order where all can be treated equally. The alchemy of gunpowder fused with the magic of sorcery.
