A young Kaunian girl is forced to remain hidden while her Forthwegian savior braves the rough, Algarvian-controlled streets to earn their keep. The scholars of Kuusamo are no closer to understanding the bloodless magic that may win the war-and time is short. Kuusamo has joined into an unsteady alliance with Lagoas and Unkerlant. No one kingdom trusts another, but they must unite, for it is only together that they can defeat the Algarvian threat. The war is no longer confined to soldiers and sorcerers. Common folk are joining together to fight from underneath their oppressors, whether they be Algarve or Unkerlant. What those farmer soldiers lack in skill, they make up for in dedication. A dedication that will carry them . . . through the darkness.… (more)

I think this is 1943 in this WWII redaction. I like the "Colonization" series with the lizards better. (

In the 3rd of this WW2 in a fantasy world series, it finally starts to drag and become too obvious. It looks like the author intends to cover 1 year of the war per book, which is probably 3 books too many. Because it so closely parallels the real history of WW2, there's no suspense at all. For me too, once they started working on the magical necromantic version of the atomic bomb, it became unpleasant to read. An interesting exercise in really alternate history, but I lost interest with this book. (
