Winner of the Reddit/Fantasy Award for Best Debut Fantasy Novel
The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable war for almost two hundred years. The lucky ones are born gifted. One in every two thousand women has the power to call down dragons. One in every hundred men is able to magically transform himself into a bigger, stronger, faster killing machine.
Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war.
Young, gift-less Tau knows all this, but he has a plan of escape. He's going to get himself injured, get out early, and settle down to marriage, children, and land. Only, he doesn't get the chance.
Those closest to him are brutally murdered, and his grief swiftly turns to anger. Fixated on revenge, Tau dedicates himself to an unthinkable path. He'll become the greatest swordsman to ever live, a man willing to die a hundred thousand times for the chance to kill the three who betrayed him.

“So many things went wrong in this book. World-building doesn’t meet expectations (matriarchal society and dragons are barely explored). Main character, Tau, is overly focused on revenge with little character development. Zuri is underdeveloped and mainly serves as info dump. Revenge plot lacks execution and depth. The battle scenes are decent, but it's confusing. Why are they killing each other and called it "training"? I don't get it. I'm confused most of the time.”

“I’m not going to lie, I had trouble keeping up. I was lost at some point. In the end, I felt like in the grand scheme of things, not much plot happened? It’s definitely combat heavy. Which I enjoyed but I would have loved more actually going on in the story. Overall I did enjoy it, I might have to read it again before moving onto the second book though😂”
