Thousand Names (#1 The Shadow Campaign)
Author(s): Django Wexler
In the desert colony of Khandar, a dark and mysterious magic, hidden for centuries, is about to emerge from darkness. Marcus d'Ivoire, senior captain of the Vordanai Colonials, is resigned to serving out his days in a sleepy, remote outpost, when a rebellion leaves him in charge of a demoralised force in a broken down fortress. Winter Ihernglass, fleeing her past and masquerading as a man, just wants to go unnoticed. Finding herself promoted to a command, she must rise to the challenge and fight impossible odds to survive. Their fates rest in the hands of an enigmatic new Colonel, sent to restore order while following his own mysterious agenda into the realm of the supernatural.

"The Coolest Fantasy Story You'll Read This Week" i09 "an excellent book" SFX "I absolutely loved it. Wexler balances the actions of his very human characters with just the right amount of imaginative "magic" to keep me wanting more" -- Taylor Anderson, National Bestselling Author of the Destroyerman Series "Wexler has produced something unusual in the fantasy line, with a setting reminiscent of the early Victorian period, out on the bleeding edge of Empire, a world of dust and bayonets and muskets... and magic. The characters are fascinating and - all- of them have secrets ... I read it at a gulp and look forward to more" -- S.M. Stirling, New York Times bestselling author of LORD OF MOUNTAINS "Extremely strong debut, flintlock fantasy at its best ... there's a new military fiction cowboy in town and his name is Django." -- Nick Sharps SF Signal
