A tale of magic, revenge, and bitter death—on the rain-spattered streets of the great city. This is epic fantasy not "in the tradition of Tolkien," but, instead, sensual, ominous, shot through with the sweat of fear and the intoxication of power.

Meh

The reader is dropped in partway through some sort of thing between the narrator's people and those of a duke has been recently killed and maybe the narrator did it. Then up pops a human shaman with greasy hair who knows too much about the narrator's people and maybe wants to resurrect the duke.

Did not enjoy. Not enough context combined with not enough interesting. One more ebook off the large unread pile though.
