Evie Manieri’s mesmerizing debut may be the initial book in the very much anticipated Shattered Kingdoms trilogy. Years back, the vicious Norlanders landed on the shores from the Shadar and enslaved the tranquil fisher folk. Right now an uprising brews in the city depths – the rebels have even employed the infamous mercenary known as the Mongrel to assist them. But mainly because the battle against the powerful Norlanders nears, the Mongrel’s sinister ambitions threaten to doom the Shadar for good.
