Synopsis
The Sapphire Crescent is a mercenary order sworn to defend a god but bent to the will of mortals, in Arrabar, a nation of mercenaries at odds with its neighbours and at war with itself. When family turns on family, it is business as usual in Arrabar; but when a family turns on itself, an entire nation may be torn asunder. The first book of Thomas M. Reid's Scions of Arrabar trilogy, which explores the political intrigue of a mercenary society in a region of the Forgotten Realms little explored in earlier novels, through the siblings Vambran and Emriana.
