Historia
Accused of murder, Faulk is on the run after his chance at redemption went horribly wrong. He finds himself allied with the mysterious Yuweh, a woman sent by her gods to capture an assassin who is spreading forbidden magic. Journeying across a land where all magic, cultures, and wars are dictated by its cycles in nature, they uncover a plot that threatens to destroy everything they hold dear. Faulk and Yuweh must reconcile their clashing cultures to prevent the chaos from repeating...as another attempts to use it for his benefit.

Another great epic
Revisado: 03-15-19
For fans of Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, and Joe Abercrombie like myself, I couldn't not like this book. Keene seems to have taken the epic fantasy style and condensed it down without losing any of the awesomeness that goes with it. His characters were enjoyable to watch play off each other, his settings were gorgeously described and the twist and turns (particularly nearer to the end) were a thrill.
What really caught me was how everything linked together seemlessly. He has cultures that make complete sense once you see the areas and means in which they live. There are darker parts, and although they are described well, the atmosphere of the dark city and gritty characters are what mostly gives this effect. Oh, and the action, the combination of magic and fight scenes are incredible and I can definitely see some Sanderson-esque magic systems in the works.
My only criticism comes part and parcel with my second statement. Because it is a little shorter than your average bulking epic fantasy book, I feel I wanted to spend more time with the characters (some more than others) and some information could have been reinforced better. These were very minor things and seeing that is only the first book makes me look forward to the next. The one thing I can say about this book was that it never bored me, the events flow together very well.
For those who want an epic but efficient fantasy novel, this is a reliable new fantasy book to turn to.
