If You Like K.J. Parker Books, You’ll Love…
Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City is the first book in The Siege series. The book is a tale of a walled city and the man who has to defend it. A siege is coming and the city has very little time to prepare. They aren’t stocked for this as they have no food or weapons, and their enemy is ruthless with plans to murder them all. The city needs a miracle, what they have is Orhan. He is many things: a bridge builder, a cheat, anti-authority, and a liar, but he’s the right man for the job and the only things standing between this city and total ruin.
Parker is also the author of The Two of Swords which is the first book in a series of the same name. The book takes place in the United Empire as war rages between the East and West. The war has been fought for as long as anyone can remember and there are few left alive who know how it all started. However, there are two who may know how it will end: The Two of Swords. The trilogy focuses on many aspects of the war with this book focusing on two soldiers in the war.
