The Thousand Names
Django Wexler
Enter an epic fantasy
world that echoes with the thunder of muskets and the clang of steel—but
where the real battle is against a subtle and sinister magic....
Captain
Marcus d’Ivoire, commander of one of the Vordanai empire’s colonial
garrisons, was resigned to serving out his days in a sleepy, remote
outpost. But that was before a rebellion upended his life. And once the
powder smoke settled, he was left in charge of a demoralized force
clinging tenuously to a small fortress at the edge of the desert.
To
flee from her past, Winter Ihernglass masqueraded as a man and enlisted
as a ranker in the Vordanai Colonials, hoping only to avoid notice. But
when chance sees her promoted to command, she must win the hearts of
her men and lead them into battle against impossible odds.
The
fates of both these soldiers and all the men they lead depend on the
newly arrived Colonel Janus bet Vhalnich, who has been sent by the
ailing king to restore order. His military genius seems to know no
bounds, and under his command, Marcus and Winter can feel the tide
turning. But their allegiance will be tested as they begin to suspect
that the enigmatic Janus’s ambitions extend beyond the battlefield and
into the realm of the supernatural—a realm with the power to ignite a
meteoric rise, reshape the known world, and change the lives of everyone
in its path.
