I liked this one.  We've got the ner'do-well of a powerful house.  They are called Patrons but think instead Senators and Senatorial Families.  Dodging creditors and death threats from people who's honor he's infringing on with his decedent ways, he joins the miltary like he should have done half a decade or more ago.Intrigue and battles soon follow as our hero slowly gets a hold of himself and then those around him.Its well worth the read.That said I didn't care for the fate of his cohorts and the transition from mostly military to mostly not in the book seemed a little rough.Other than that its all good.The Deposed King
