Patent Pending Plagiarizer 6: The Glacial Tightrope.. Patent Pending Plagiarizer, #6

Emperor Petlor of the Shiusil Empire is a man haunted. After a gruesome "delivery" to his palace windows, he is forced to make a desperate pilgrimage to Uthana, a city transformed into a terrifying, flawless utopia. There, he finds himself trapped in a diplomatic nightmare, coerced into an alliance with a woman who treats international treaties like casual brunch and world leaders like disposable toys.
 Meanwhile, in the frost-bitten north, King Daigo Cornaro (the self-proclaimed "Warrior King") prepares for the glory of a lifetime. Confident in his "might makes right" philosophy and backed by seven million soldiers, and the last two "Gods" of Augustalis, he has lured Nana's forces to the Iron Refuge. To this end, he well and truly believes his legendary blade and superior numbers will finally end the "Witch's" reign once and for all.
