An excellent start to a new series. A brilliantly developed world with a complex religio-political landscape.
The narrative moves between a few perspectives, primarily Hatushaly and his two friends Hava and Donte training at a school in the Hidden Nation, and Declan, a young man living in the Covenant lands finishing his mastery as a smith.
The focus of the plot is on Hatu's identity, his background a mystery to himself and most who knows him. Why is he, clearly a foreigner, being permitted the training he is receiving? What will become of him once he comes of age and finishes his training?
Fascinating characters, brilliant world, great build-up to some sort of upcoming conflict that could change the whole world.

I listened to 7 hours and nothing happened
Also there was so much sexual content - not even sex scenes just unnecessary sexual content shoved in

this is better known as 460 pages (out of 545, for my copy) of setting the scene... NOTHING HAPPENED UNTIL THE END, AND THE ENDING WASNT EVEN SURPRISING
man, this was so slow and the author loved telling you the EXACT SAME PIECE of information SEVERAL times. like we 👏🏼GET 👏🏼 IT 👏🏼 hatu is mad, hava is a great fighter, Declan is something (can't remember because they were all boring as hell)
so terrible pacing, no plot, boring characters, bad writing (why is the word but spelt like hut????), so not a fan
