تسوق Empire of Salt #3 The Sword Saint (original) C.F. Iggulden

The news from the north is grim.

An army is massing under the new king of Feal. They head towards Darien - city of the Twelve families -
demanding allegiance, or war.

Tellius, Speaker to the Council, knows this divided city will never stand against such a terrible foe.

But Tellius has a plan.

He will assemble a band of heroes. Men and women who once before aided Darien in her time of need.

They will come if he calls.

The army approaches.
The trumpets of war sound.
A great city holds its breath.
