   Reader note

   This is a somber debate about "order, fairness, sacrifice, and redemption." There are no perfect heroes here, only complex and real people fighting for their beliefs, their own desires, and their loved ones. If you're tired of black-and-white feel-good stories, if you enjoy ensemble casts and the dilemmas of human nature, if you can accept that good people can do bad things, bad people have their reasons, and the protagonist's path is fraught with uncertainty and consequences—then this book might offer you some different perspectives. Welcome to this world without standard answers.
