Too soon grown, too late wise.

Pjtor Adamson Svendborg seethes as his elder half-sister and her favorite play at ruling NovRodi, ignoring corruption and courting danger. Pjtor and his half brother Isaac the Simple must find a way to wrench NovRodi free of her clutches, and of the Harriers who raid, kidnap, and destroy all they touch. Doing so will take Pjtor over the sea to New Dalfa and a new world. Can he learn what he needs, fast enough, to save NovRodi? And to defeat those who prefer the old ways, who would drag his homeland back into the chaos years?

But the damage done to Pjtor the child could bring down Pjtor the man.
