This is book 2 in the Under the Northern Skies trilogy. I think I loved this book even more than the first one. This is really an alternate history medieval setting rather than actual fantasy. There's no magic here, just 3 living hominid species on an alternate England fighting for supremacy. Lots of politics, culture, and war strategy.
