Summary
Three dark mage-kings known as the Sea Lords, the Orphaner and his two sons, hold the world in an iron grip. The reincarnation of an ancient hero known as the Sufferer leads a rebellion against their power. For all the blood and magic spilled, it seems the world will be at war forever.
Rebel spymaster Sollux Captor is kidnapped by one of the Sea Lords to break a puzzling code. He's sure his fate is interrogation and death, or worse. But the lines between friend and foe are less clear than they seemed, and his captivity may have placed him in the perfect position to turn the tide.
[inspired by the world of the 'Black Company' series by Glen Cook; you don't need to be familiar with it to understand this story.]

Summary
It’s a little larger than a typewriter, set into a plain wooden box. Two sets of letters, one made of keys, and the other of lights—he presses one of the keys, and another letter at the top lights up, a rotor inside the box clicking forward. Deceptively simple, really.
