It’s rich with detail, and contains plenty of secrets to intrigue readers for some time to come.

From Joshua Bilmes: Nick Martell is the most exciting debut author I’ve come across in over a decade, since I went out to market with Peter V. Brett. Nick’s been writing since 5th grade, is now 23, and is a more fully polished fantasist than Brandon Sanderson was at that age. And there’s no need of qualification here. Nick Martell isn’t great for a 23 year old; he’s great. It starts like this: At my trial for treason for killing the King, I played with my father’s ring, twisting it around my middle finger. It was one of the few things they hadn’t taken away from me when I was arrested. Maybe because they knew it was my father’s last gift to me, or maybe it was because no one cared about an old ring and thought nothing of it. 140,000 words later, you’ll know why Michael Kingman has his father’s ring. Along the way you’ll be transported to the the Narrows, the left behind quarter of a city called Hollow, which is in decay, if not yet in ruins. A city where the Gunpowder War has left its burn marks, where the execution of Michael’s father ended up becoming the death of hope, where the sounds of death from a rebel attack or the falling moon have become commonplace. A city where Michael Kingman has struggled mightily to find his way in adolescence, and where he may never live to find fulfillment as an adult.
