Dalriya is a place reminiscent of Westeros. With all the political intrigue, just not as grim. 

We follow Sanc's family. He's the son of a duke and nephew to the king of Guivergne. It is primarily a coming-of-age story, but not something I would suggest for a YA audience. With war as the book's central theme, the characters are forced to hastily grow and resort to previously inconceivable measures to keep their loved ones safe. 

The book includes a helpful Dramatis Personae at the beginning, but I suggest you take advantage of the maps available on the author's page to keep track of the complex world he has created. 

I had no idea of the scope of this tale, but I'm certain Edmundson has more surprises in the saga that I would gladly dive into.
