Sunset Mantle by Alter S. Reiss

4.0

Cete was general to a powerful clan until he killed a berserk lord, earning acclaim & exile at one stroke. Now he's drawn to a new settlement aspiring to independence, even though he's certain it's doomed to be destroyed by the cities who hold its debts. I still think a good cloak is a terrible reason to volunteer to die, but this is an impressively epic story packed into 200 pages as Cete proves over and again that he is an honourable badass.

Notable for unusual world-building & older protagonists.
