  1. 1. Tactics Of Mistake

    A brilliant young mercenary commander from a culture built around warfare rises to confront a web of political rivals determined to check his people's influence; through unorthodox strategy, psychological insight, and deliberate provocations he forces opponents into self-defeating errors while navigating exile, betrayal, and personal transformation.
