Synopsis

The highly anticipated sequel to A Demon in Silver, The Hangman’s Gate continues the epic saga of the War of the Archons.After uniting the bandit clans, the Iron Tusk has swept into Shengen and taken control of the empire. With an army behind him, he marches along the Skull Road, ready to lay waste to the lands in the west. The rag-tag defenders of Dunrun are all that stand in his way. With their country besieged on all sides, troubling rumors of a priestess amassing power in the North, and unnatural alliances to the south, no help is coming. Alone, they must hold back the god-like powers of the Iron Tusk, or see life as they know it come to an end.

Goodreads review by Lesa on September 27, 2020

New characters that I could care less for. Got bits and pieces of Silver, Livia and Josten but nor a lot of them which I was hoping for. Still war. Children with special gifts.

The direct continuation of A Demon in Silver - similarly to book 1, new characters are introduced and old reappear in vignette-style narrative though here I felt it was more coherent overall; the drawback was the more familiar subject (magic war, super-powerful evil one bent on world conquest etc) r......more
