The blurb is below - I'd love to know if you're interested in getting a free advance copy.

Once, there was a truce. Desperaux controlled the west with magic, and Desire claimed the east with steel and science.
But now magic has disappeared, and the world has changed.

The kingdom of Desire will stop at nothing to maintain the new world order. On Juno’s wedding day, their Mengery soldiers came marching through the Nine desert to rip his world apart. Now he journeys east with his adopted brother, Trey, in search of revenge after the death of his family. Along the way, the two face bandits and the magical creatures of the Nine. When the two finally reach Desire, they’ll face something even deadlier – their own fears and ambitions.

This is a tale of brotherhood, a revenge story that will remind you that everything has a cost – a cost that will be paid to Desire and to the inner demons that govern us all.(less)

Incredibly valuable information at points, but definitely could’ve been about 50 to 100 pages shorter. And the author does fetishize these cultures. It’s a little cringe.

I’d say worth reading, but also read the one star reviews here.

“We tell people to work hard and never give up, and I carry in me the promise of all Americans that that is not just a line in some tragic comedy. I carry in me the promise that this nation's worst injustices can be righted.”
Bharat Krishnan, Privilege

“When you get to be my age, you realize that sometimes the world is so terrible that the only way people can admit the truth is through the lens of fantasy.”
Bharat Krishnan

“Fairy tales depict white knights as saviors, but I know better now. Her brain understood that, but her heart was a different matter.”
Bharat Krishnan, Privilege
