About this ebook

The Gods are dead. The Magelord Salazar and his magically enhanced troops, the Augmentors, crush any dissent they find in the minds of the populace. On the other side of the Broken Sea, the White Lady plots the liberation of Dorminia, with her spymistresses, the Pale Women. Demons and abominations plague the Highlands.

The world is desperately in need of heroes. But what it gets instead are a ragtag band of old warriors, a crippled Halfmage, two orphans and an oddly capable manservant: the Grim Company.

Ratings and reviews

Didn't make it halfway through, and by that point I was just hoping that every character, protagonist or antagonist, just got killed off and put me out of my misery. What a worthless cast of characters.

I enjoyed this book, but I didn't appreciate it as much until I read the second book and started to see what the author was crafting. If you moderately enjoy this one, you will love what comes next.

Good story, great character development. Lots of action. Ready to see where the next book takes the two warriors and who else gets caught up in their travels.
