Daniel S says:
Mark Latham skillfully combines a dark medieval fantasy world with an intricate Sherlockian mystery and well-realized pair of mismatched protagonists.
Shunned by his soldiers, haunted by past tragedies, Sargent Holt Hawley is a broken man. But the child of a powerful ally has gone missing, and war is on the horizon. He and his squad have been sent to find the Vigilant, a rumored last survivor of an ancient order capable of performing acts of magic, and they've been lost to the world for decades.

I'm a circulation assistant. My love for reading was sparked when a librarian at the Old Worthington Library encouraged me to read The Phantom Tollbooth. Thirty-ish years later-- and through reading Jules Verne, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Tom Clancy, Robert Heinlein, Connie Willis, Dorothy Sayers, Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan and many others-- my love for adventurous and imaginative fiction has only grown. Aside from reading, I'm an avid gamer and have a lifelong fascination with aviation and history.
