Sweeping from the majestic city of Ashoka to the perilous Wildness beyond her borders, enter a world where Caste determines mystical Talents, the purity of Jivatma expresses worth, and dharma may be based on a lie.
Rukh Shektan has always understood duty. As a member of Caste Kumma, the warrior Caste, nothing else is acceptable. He is expected to take part in the deadly Trials, to journey the Wildness and protect the caravans linking Humanity's far-flung cities. Though the mission is dangerous, Rukh's hope and optimism are undaunted. Karma, however, is a fickle fiend. His caravan is destroyed by the monstrous Chimeras; twisted servants of their fearful goddess, Suwraith. While Rukh survives the attack, events force him along an uncertain path. Morality becomes a morass - especially when he encounters a mysterious warrior, Jessira Grey, a woman whose existence ought to be impossible. The holy texts warn against her kind: ghrinas, children of two Castes, abominations. They are to be executed whenever discovered, but for the first time in his life, Rukh defies duty. Jessira may be the key to his city's survival.
Meanwhile, a secret society seeks Ashoka's demise; foul murders cloak a deadlier purpose; and behind it all looms Suwraith. But it is the Baels, the leaders of Her Chimeras, who may hide the greatest deception of all.Book 2, A Warrior's Knowledge, is also available.

give it a try!
Though a massive struggle at the start due to the authers need too rebrand many terms with the story with convoluted names ( i struggled even toward the end with remembering which is which ), i loved the story of this book and look forward to its sequals. A well developed characters, well paced narrative, and overall story left me wanting more and wondering what will the future hold for Rook?

Fantastic Story.
The character development in this story is second to very few, people complain about the start being slow but they must have never listened to a novel with scope. Never a dull moment people worth being invested in and a world worth falling in love with.

Good story - well read
Sluggish to get one's head around the world, but once the story developed it was easy to keep up with the developments.
nice commentary on prejudices in society and castes.
Highly recommend - can't wait to read the next in the series.

Immersive culture and story.
this was a great book, the culture and world that's described is so interesting and detailed it draws you in. it does spend a while going through the details of the culture which could be repetitive and slow but is definitely worth it as it makes the larger story much more immersive and meaningful.
the politics and issues with racism and class are really interesting and makes you really feel for the characters involved.
last but not least Nick Podehl is an awesome narrator and his performance is perfect like usual.
