The Year of the Master Captain: The Second Book of the Doan

In this, the second book of the Doan, having defeated the barbarian Kos, Alaya and her new husband must solidify her position as Elder of the five great houses, and forge a nation from the ashes of warfare. She faces opposition from within and from outside the North, but her ultimate help comes from a group of wranglers that deliver livestock to replenish her food supply.
