Reed Causeway at dawn, fog over black water, a rooster king watching a pale column

Oath of the Peck · Book I

War of Fate

We Rise at Dawn.

War of Fate opens on the first dawn of the Forty-Day War. Pale Dawn — Legless’s oath-bound host — sends a probe down Reed Causeway into Crow Marsh, dressed like a tax visit. Old King Karl of Wet Peck has spent three nights cutting the road out from under them. He does not call what follows a victory. He calls it a greeting, and he sends that greeting upriver to Cock Fortress.
