It is the height of the
Gurlish Wars. Sergeant Tamas, a young infantryman in the Adran Army,
struggles to keep his squad alive despite the blundering incompetence of
their superior officers. Not only does Tamas have the curse of being an
ambitious commoner in an army where rank is purchased rather than
earned, he is also a powder mage. His magical ability to manipulate
gunpowder is frowned upon by officers and feared by Privileged
sorcerers.
When the Adran Army is about to give up on the siege
of an enemy fortress, Tamas seizes upon the opportunity to prove his
worth as a strategist and mage. But breaking the enemy on his own won’t
be easy, no matter how strong he is.
