This was recommended to me by some fellow reviewers so, having signed up for a Kindle Unlimited trial, I jumped at the chance to check it out. I even went so far as to leapfrog my epic review backlog to put the word out there… So, what’s it all about? Gera, now qualified as a blacksmith, decides to leave his […]
