   This book features a truly ruthless and decisive protagonist, devoid of any saintly qualities or compassion, focused solely on himself. It's a great read, highly recommended. There's no female lead, although he does take on a young apprentice, whose role is small and not at all unlikeable; the apprentice's character is well-developed.
