Publisher's Synopsis
Features characters who develop over time, making them all the more human. Includes many viewpoints from different characters in order to understand the motives of all the characters. Raises new questions with every chapter but leaves none in the end. Written by someone with real experience in most of described things: from old-style cooking and herb picking to sword-fencing. Contains many references from various classical works and historical events. Very educational in both history and everyday life. "A Song of Ice and Fire" for a younger audience.
