In a world where sorcery and divine beings shape the course of battle, unconventional warriors step into the fray. Mercenaries known as "dog soldiers" navigate the chaos of war, embodying grit and resilience. They are neither heroes nor villains but men who adapt to the brutal landscapes created by their supernatural counterparts.
Glen Cook's narrative captures the raw essence of these soldiers, exploring their camaraderie, struggles, and the moral ambiguities that arise in their line of work. Each character grapples with their identity amidst the relentless march of conflict, revealing the stark realities beneath the glory of war.
As the lines between right and wrong blur, the fate of nations rests on the shoulders of those who thrive in the shadows. The aftermath of each battle brings not only victory or defeat but deeper philosophical questions about honor, loyalty, and the true cost of survival in a world at war.
