By Blood, By Saltby J. L. OdomAzetla has served the Maurowan Army for thirteen years. There are seven left to pay. A pariah, a debt soldier, he is a commander with no rank, a soldier without citizenship, and wears a sword that it is unlawful for him to own. He has learned to hold his tongue or risk losing everything. When Azetla’s battalion is sent into the desert to catch a Sahr devil, he discovers that there is far more to this mission than catching a fiend. For the Emperor of Maurow, it is a way to prove that he fears nothing. For the Emperor’s brother, it is a stepping-stone to rebellion. For Azetla it could be deadly either way. But the devil that Azetla finds in the desert is not what anyone expects. As the conspiracy against the Emperor becomes entangled with the simmering ambitions of the desert tribes, Azetla must decide if he’s willing to strike a bargain with a devil in order to survive. $2.99 |
