In Land of Perpetual Night we are introduced to Troa Travay, a young, very successful, Ranger squad leader in the highly-Casted land of Sideer. Immediately I was thrown into the unrelenting pressure of the world Troa and her friends live in. The society, the laws the citizens live by, and the parched land itself create a feeling of akin to despair. But with her position, I began to think that perhaps Troa had risen above the harshness of the society; I soon learned I was wrong.
The province of Shinador has long been looked down upon as the basest, most wild province in the Sideerian Empire, yet it inspires a vow of deep reverence in Troa, which she has vowed to fight for endlessly. But when that same vow is seemingly thrown away by her role model, her mother Shekyva, Troa's world fractures in an instant. We follow Troa on a runaway train of hard lessons that hammer home standing firm for what you believe in is not as easy as it seems, nor are circumstances always what they appear to be.
