Description
“My name is Sumto, and everyone thinks I am a gambling, lazy, good-for-nothing drunk. Frankly, I think they have a point. Right now I may have to join the army and fight in a war I am too corpulent to cope with. Still, it looks like it’ll be a small, short war. So that’s got to be as bad as things get. Am I right?”
Trained in his youth for war and politics, Sumto is interested in neither. As the son of a Patron, he should gather clients, acquire wealth, learn magic, husband a political power base, and take his place amongst the Assembly of Patrons, the rulers of the city. But Sumto would rather gather friends, acquire books, learn history, husband a hangover, and take his place at the gambling tables. That is not going to be an option for much longer.
Unknown to Sumto, everything is about to change. There is a war in the north and Sumto is about to become a very unwilling participant.
