Ten years ago, General Damastes pledged eternal loyalty to the wizard Tenedos, and to the seer's vision of a unified, peaceful Numantia. Tenedos became emperor, but peace never came. Now Tenedos has amassed an army of millions, preparing for war against a kingdom far larger, more powerful, more magical than Numantia. And when Damastes tries to stop the apocalypse, he will uncover the dark truth about the bargain the Seer King made to gain an empire. No library descriptions found. |

I also find it hard to credit that an old soldier recalling his life at that point would go into quite so much 'Tab A to Slot B' detail about his sex life. I really didn't want to know which character was putting exactly what part of his or her anatomy precisely where, but nevertheless we get all the gory details; in fact there is more detail in the sex scenes than in the battles, which is quite unlike any fighter I have /ever/ known.
That aside, it's a good story with some pretty solid characters. If I hadn't bought the third book at the same time as the second I might have hesitated to pick it up now, but I will be reading it and rather hope that the third book hasn't also been written 'backwards'. ( )
