Dug Sealskinner is a down-on-his-luck mercenary traveling south to join up with King Zadar's army. But he keeps rescuing the wrong people. First Spring, a child he finds scavenging on the battlefield, and then Lowa, one of Zadar's most fearsome warriors, who has vowed revenge on the king for her sister's execution. Now Dug's on the wrong side of the thousands-strong army he hoped to join -- and worse, Zadar has bloodthirsty druid magic on his side. All Dug has is his war hammer, one small child, and one unpredictable, highly-trained warrior with a lust for revenge that might get them all killed.

This book creeps all over you. I mean in the creeper way. And by the end of it you are totally covered from head to toe. The characters are raw and the writing more so. Protagonists shift from black to white and then settle into a rythm. But they stay with you. But what captures your imagination is the setting. While there is a fantasy element to it, the age of iron is exactly what it pretends to be. A look at what might have been. And if you live in britain it might be a must read in schools. Might need to tone down the sex & voilence though. All in all a very nice start to what promises to be an interesting series.
