Hangman’s Gate (War of the Archons, Book 2)

The sequel to A Demon in Silver. After uniting the bandit clans, the warlord known as the Iron Tusk conquers the empire of Shengen and marches along the Skull Road. The rag-tag defenders at the fortress of Dunrun stand entirely alone to hold back his god-like, inhuman powers as ancient, long-forgotten gods begin to return.
