A Question of Honor (Swords & Salt, #1)

by
Yanko is a Nurian mage but he’s still in training. And his preferred magic is earth based. His love of soil, worms and regenerating plants just makes him even weirder. So, to toughen him up, his father sends him off to work in the mines. There he meets and fights a one-eyed Turgonian warrior. Yanko is smart enough to work out that the guy can understand more than he pretends to but he doesn’t have time to mention it to anyone else before Prince Zirabo arrives for a quick visit. And he wants a demonstration of Yanko’s skills.

I had honestly forgotten the names of all the races in Lindsay’s Emperor’s Edge world. Turgonians are the warlike dudes, Nurians the magic ones, Mangdorians the peaceful ones, and Kyatt were the islanders… I think. This series of three novellas has been renamed and extended upon as a Chains of Honor prequel set, before the full novel Warrior Mage and is set in a different continent to the Emperor’s Edges series but it’s the same world of magic, swords and battles. It can be read alone.
Here, we are left with more than a few loose ends but it is only a novella of 60 pages.
The Prince is an enigma. I do wonder what he’s up to.
4 stars.
