Art of Destiny by Wesley Chu
A hero once believed to be the chosen one must find a new path with the help of a band …
The setting is the Mediterranean at the end of the Middle Ages, if Carthage had won against Rome, if the Muslims had not conquered the Maghreb and Spain, if Jesus had been a woman, and if Europe had been threatened over the centuries by many elvish invasions. Oh, and magic happens.
The characters are well defined, but perhaps too close to DnD classes: the paladin, the sorcerer (no, the magician!), the cleric, the thief, the barbarian… So the whole adventure feels a bit like a ttrpg campaign.
On the other hand, Abercrombie is a master storyteller and I’m curious about what’s happening next for the company.
