God of Broken Things

The “tyrant” magus Edrin Walker is back leading his coterie of the doomed into near certain death against a mind-controlling adversary up in the frozen rocky lands of the Clandholds. Being a “tyrant” means Walker is gifted with the ability to get into people's heads and alter their thoughts, read them, even control them if necessary. It's a skill that means he is feared and distrusted by many and doesn't have a lot of friends. He's a bit arrogant and crude to boot. But deep down you know he's not a complete tool. The parasitic adversary has marshalled altered clanfolk, magi, and daemons against Walker's coterie – (“coterie” is a word the author uses a LOT) – and it all makes for a fun, bloody, magic-infused battle. It's got a few surprises in it too.
