Узелки и узы

author: Анна Шумска

Two very different men who do not know each other—the jaded and indifferent King Walter, and the businesslike, dry Commander Lenvik from a fortress at the edge of the inhabited world—become inexplicably cruel, suddenly deciding to make bloody executions a part of everyday life. Who could have guessed that they share similar reasons for this—quite unusual and grim ones? Even the king's nephew, Lucas Lemert, son of the executed chancellor, does not suspect these reasons. He decided to oppose the royal tyranny, lost his lands, his title, and his predetermined future, and expects no help from anywhere. Now he is simply an exile, a mercenary serving as a centurion in the citadel of a small island nation. But when a single encounter forces him to believe once again that he has the power to change something, a web of disgusting secrets begins to unravel. This is the sixth book in the Digger Chronicles series. It can be read as a standalone novel.
