On June 9, 2023 I interviewed Howard Andrew Jones, author of Lord of a Shattered Land, coming out from Baen Books this August. Lord of a Shattered Land is part of a series, known as the Hanuvar Chronicles.
Book Description: “Hanuvar, last and greatest general of Volanus, still lives. He now travels the length of the Dervan Empire that conquered his homeland, driven by a singular purpose—to find what remains of his people who were carried into slavery across the empire, and free them from subjugation by any means necessary. Against the might of a vast empire, he had only an aging sword arm, a lifetime of hard-won wisdom, and the greatest military mind in the world, set upon a single goal. No matter what the empire musters against him, no matter what man or monster stands in his way, from the empire’s festering capital to its furthest outposts, Hanuvar would find his people, every last one of them. And he would set them free.”
