Story4.5 out of 5 stars 35
Witch hunts have plagued the kingdom of Olyanath for decades. Thousands were slain due to the king’s paranoia of women who practice Senspiritic magic. No more. Nye and his companions have seen enough of murder and misogyny. Fifteen years have passed since he joined the witch hunters, and now, at long last, an opportunity to destroy them from the inside reveals itself. An opportunity to overthrow the king and end his reign of cruelty. But 15 years of pretense have taken a toll. The strive for vengeance has steered Nye toward a path of violence and villainy.

grimdark. meets hard magic system !
Reviewed: 07-30-21
Excellent doubt book, it has its flaws, but the world-building and crazy magic system (obviously influenced by Sanderson), in addition to the grimdark vibe, make the book worth the ride. This book deals with certain heavy topics such as mental illness and abuse, very thought-provoking but not meant to be read by all readers. If you like Sanderson's magic system and writing style with a grimdark, feel this book is for you!
