“You know what never gets addressed in these epic fantasy novels? The honest working fellows who clear up after the big battles. (Notice that 'good' was omitted from the description of these fellows.) Saevus Corax is a leader of a fair sized operation of these fellows, and you’ll be fascinated by the politics behind battlefield cleanup. Also by the fact of him not being an entirely reliable narrator. And by the passage of time, that will also enthrall. Sarcasm, dry humor, and dark wit abound in this first book, and I look forward to the next. ”
— Kate • Ballast Book Co.
Summary
From one of the most original voices in fantasy comes a twisted tale of murder, betrayal, and battlefield salvage.
There’s no formal training for battlefield salvage. You just have to pick things up as you go along. Swords, armour, arrows – and the bodies, of course.
Over the years, Saevus Corax has picked up a lot of things. Some of them have made him decent money, others have brought nothing but trouble. But it’s a living, and somebody has to deal with the dead.
Something else that Saevus has buried is his past. Unfortunately, he didn’t quite succeed.
