His old general, Tamas, has called him back into service. McClellan presents Adro through the eyes of Adamant, a retired investigator whose taken up as a freelancer. Promise of Blood reads like the French Revolution crossed with Lightbringer. And even though I thought I didn’t like flintlock fantasy, it’s happened again with Brian McClellan‘s Promise of Blood.
