First in the series from a New York Times-bestselling author and "fabulously talented writer" featuring a brilliant mercenary and his fierce female partner (Charlaine Harris).   Gifted with courage, strength, and the intelligence to know when to fight, Sun Wolf is the greatest mercenary in a land overrun by war. With his first lieutenant, Starhawk--a woman more deadly than any man--at his side, he has laid waste to countless cities, taking the best of their treasures for himself, and distributing the rest among his bloodthirsty crew.   Then a woman comes to him, an emissary from the town of Mandrigyn, a lush port city recently sacked by a powerful, mad wizard of unmatched abilities. She offers Sun Wolf untold riches for the use of his army, but the captain is not fool enough to wage war against a magician. He refuses her offer, but that is not the end of it. The women of Mandrigyn can be very persuasive.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Barbara Hambly, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.… (plus d'informations)

This was a rather refreshing book, with a female mercenary who is really good at what she does, and a whole group of women learning that they can run businesses when their men are captured, and that end up decent soldiers as well. It also shows a bit how disconcerting this is to the whole of their society, which isn't used to women with agency. I found the relationships to be well balanced. Sun Wolf and Starhawk find out separately that they like each other in another capacity than professional, and they do so realistically. Fortunately no gushing. I found the relationship between Sun Wolf and the women who kidnap him to be realistic as well.

I can't quite figure out why this isn't a 5 star for me, despite all that. Somehow I can't find anything wrong with it, and I see a great deal of good, including things that are rare to get right in fantasy, but still this book didn't draw me into its world as much as I would like. ( )

Enjoyed this at the time, but it wasn't a 'keeper'. ( )

A little too long, but very good. ( )

I haven't read this in years and years, but it was formative for me, and so fun to revisit -- a ripping good story, even after all this time.

And now that I'm in my 40s myself, a hero forced to start over in midlife has extra interest for me. ( )
