As a child, Kyrioc was groomed to be the head of one of the most powerful noble families in Koh-Salash, a city built inside the skeletons of two murdered gods. Kyrioc himself dreamed of becoming head of the High Watch, the highest political position in the land.

Those dreams have turned to dust.

Presumed dead after a disastrous overseas quest, Kyrioc now lives in a downcity slum under a false name, hiding behind the bars of a pawnshop window. Riliska, a 9-year-old pickpocket who sells stolen trinkets to his shop, is the closest thing he has to a friend.

When a criminal gang kills Riliska's mother and kidnaps the little girl, Kyrioc goes hunting for her.

He doesn't care about the forbidden magic the gangs are fighting over - the severed ear of a glitterkind, a creature whose flesh contains astonishing healing powers. He doesn't care about the bloody, escalating gang violence. He doesn't care about the schemes of power-hungry nobles.

In a raging city on the verge of civil war, Kyrioc only wants to save his friend. He will risk anything for her, even awakening the powers that murdered the gods so long ago.

No romance but still a lot of love and admiration. A rarely powerfull hero where one still understand where his strength comes from. A dynamic and interesting world. I really hope to see more of this world in future books.

Level headed yet epic

I swear the author took inspiration from the Korean movie "The Man from Nowhere". There are so many scences that are almost direct copies from the movie. I'm not going to bother describing them in detail but if you want to watch the movie, I believe it's still on Amazon Prime. Other than that, the book is solid and has some really interesting world building elements. My only gripe with the story is that it doesnt give much history or background on the setting (at least in the beginning). Its not a make -it ir break-it deal but I prefer stories that give you some information about the character or setting before hand instead of doling it out in small chunks.

the world is very interesting and contains many secrets I'd love to see explored more, and many of the characters have deep personalities and compelling motivations. For example, I loved to hate the main antagonist.
I found it a little slow in the beginning, however but once it got going, I couldn't stop. I'd love to see a sequel, especially since the ending seemed made for it (it doesn't feel unfinished, but it did feel like many characters are in places for new adventures)

Strong world building and interesting characters

Can't wait for the sequel. It was perfectly written and executed. The main character is human with all of our flaws. And yet seeks some way to redeem himself.

Can't wait for the next one

I got into Harry’s writing through the Twenty Palaces series, and decided to give his other works a try.
His world-building for this story is unique and fascinating. I thoroughly enjoyed the story arc, and would certainly purchase any subsequent stories in this world. Just enough questions answered, but so many more leaving me curious.
Keep them coming, Harry.

An engrossing story set in a unique and clever world.
