Summary

Raised a warrior in the harsh winter country, Ryo inGara has always been willing to die for his family and his tribe. When war erupts against the summer country, the prospect of death in battle seems imminent. But when his warleader leaves Ryo as a sacrifice—a tuyo—to die at the hands of their enemies, he faces a fate he never imagined.

Ryo's captor, a lord of the summer country, may be an enemy, but far worse enemies are moving, with the current war nothing but the opening moves in a hidden game Ryo barely glimpses—a game in which all his people may be merely pawns.

Suddenly, Ryo finds his convictions overturned, and his loyalties uncertain. Should he support the man who holds him prisoner, the only man who may be able to defeat their greater enemy? And even if he does, can he persuade his people to do the same?

horrible narration

Entertaining.
This is not my genre and I missed some romance. It should have been shorter. Some parts were very repetitive, like the false memories bothering Ryo. Further, I disliked the slow, stilted, masculine posing. Always the same wording. "Are you his slave or his dog?" "I brought shame to my father and my family". "I insulted you, you may hit me, if you wish." "You must keep your thoughts to yourself because I am the warlord but because you are Ryo's savior I will spare your life". The number of times killing someone was casually uttered, is ridiculous.
The narrator could have done better. He sounded like he was listing countless items, all in the same inflection.

Boring

I can't tell who is who and nothing seems to happen, or if it does it's when I zone out from boredom.
