Warlord
“The news was delivered by the young bandit-turned-spy Ollie Kantel, and left the King of Fardohnya more than a little put out to hear his plans had been foiled by something as unexpected as a rockfall.
He was suspicious, of course, about what might have caused the disaster, but he was sceptical about the reports of an explosion. Nobody Hablet didn’t own body and soul knew how to make the explosive powders his engineers had mastered nearly two decades ago when they first opened up the Widowmaker.... Hablet had slit throats and cut out tongues to make certain things remained that way.
But whatever the cause of the avalanche, King Hablet of Fardohnya had a much more pressing problem. He had fifty thousand troops stranded on the wrong side of the Widowmaker and an army of thirty thousand trapped in Hythria with no way to support it. There would be no point in Axelle Regis carving his way in glorious battle to Greenharbour now, Hablet knew, because there would be nobody following behind to hold any territorial gains.MoreLess
