Or perhaps the sergeant is too desperate to discriminate, which would explain why a vampire, a troll, a zombie, a religious fanatic, and two uncommonly close "friends" are also eagerly welcomed into the fighting fold. Polly is afraid that someone will see through her disguise a fear that proves groundless when the legendary Sergeant Jackrum accepts her without question. So she cuts off her hair, dons masculine garb, and sets out to join him in this man's army. To keep The Duchess in the family, Polly must find her missing sibling. This time, however, it's Borogravia that's getting its long-overdue comeuppance, which has left the country severely drained of young men.Įver since her brother Paul marched off to battle a year ago, Polly Perks has been running The Duchess, her family's inn, even though the revered national deity, Nuggan, has decreed that female ownership of a business is an Abomination. And, to no one's great surprise, the conflict centers around the small, insufferably arrogant, strictly fundamentalist duchy of Borogravia, which has long prided itself on its ability to beat up on its neighbors.
