Summary

Otto of Schlepsig is risking his neck as an acrobat in a third-rate circus in the middle of nowhere when news arrives that the land of Shqiperi has invited Prince Halim Eddin to become its new king.

–Tulsa World, on Blood and Iron

“Turtledove manages the difficult feat of telling a story that is consistently funny–and wistful, exciting, tragic and swashbuckling at the same time. The characters are intensely human and the setting marvelously Ruritanian, down to the smallest impeccable detail conveyed with a master’s economical brushstroke.”
–S. M. Stirling
