I have mixed feelings about this one, I both liked it, and do not wish to read more. Such a strange feeling. I mean it was a good book, I thought everything interesting enough, but then the end came. I had wished it to be THE end. It could have been, instead there was more drama instead of a conclusion. And will I read more, no. But why not? I just do not know. It was certainly better than ok, but still I can just leave it

Maybe it was the Black Hawks themselves, I did not like a single one of them. I liked the whiny prince and the not so good bodyguard Chel. But the mercenary peeps, meh. No thanks.

A good book that still failed to impress.

Life as a knight is not what Vedren Chel imagined. Bound by oath to a dead-end job in the service of a lazy step-uncle, Chel no longer dreams of glory – he dreams of going home.

When invaders throw the kingdom into turmoil, Chel finds opportunity in the chaos: if he escorts a stranded prince to safety, Chel will be released from his oath.

All he has to do is drag the brat from one side of the country to the other, through war and wilderness, chased all the way by ruthless assassins.

With killers on your trail, you need killers watching your back. You need the Black Hawk Company – mercenaries, fighters without equal, a squabbling, scrapping pack of rogues.

Prepare to join the Black Hawks.
