A fantasy about an army priest, Tomas Piety,  who returns home from war with is squadmates and uses them to take back his family's criminal empire. I was hoping there would be some interesting friction from Piety being both a Priest and a crime lord, but nothing much was done with that, and the story also suffered from there being no doubt that he would complete his goals. There was some good, gritty action in this though, which did make it worth reading.
