The Price of Valor: Book Three of the Shadow Campaigns
The Price of Valor: Book Three of the Shadow Campaigns | Django Wexler
3 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
In the latest Shadow Campaigns novel, Django Wexler continues his “epic fantasy of military might and magical conflict”* following The Shadow Throne and The Thousand Names, as the realm of Vordan faces imminent threats from without and within. In the wake of the King’s death, war has come to Vordan. The Deputies-General has precarious control of the city, but it is led by a zealot who sees traitors in every shadow. Executions have become a grim public spectacle. The new queen, Raesinia Orboan, finds herself nearly powerless as the government tightens its grip and assassins threaten her life. But she did not help free the country from one sort of tyranny to see it fall into another. Placing her trust with the steadfast soldier Marcus D’Ivoire, she sets out to turn the tide of history. As the hidden hand of the Sworn Church brings all the powers of the continent to war against Vordan, the enigmatic and brilliant general Janus bet Vhalnich offers a path to victory. Winter Ihernglass, newly promoted to command a regiment, has reunited with her lover and her friends, only to face the prospect of leading them into bloody battle. And the enemy is not just armed with muskets and cannon. Dark priests of an ancient order, wielding forbidden magic, have infiltrated Vordan to stop Janus by whatever means necessary… *Library Journal

Another entertaining installment in the Shadow Campaign series. I wouldn't exactly call this series grimdark but there is definitely a lot of darker elements especially in the political situation with this one. It went back to its military roots and had more battles than the previous installment and I'm looking forward to seeing where things go in the overarching plotline.

I won't say too much because this is the third book. It was a more balanced combination of warfare and political intrigue. Besides all the other fun stuff. ?
