Overview

Remigio Ventrepieno has a system. Keep your distance. Count your paces. Collect the debt. Go home. It has served him well for ten years as a debt collector in the kingdom of Peltravia - a land of petty lords, crooked millers, and rivers that flood at inconvenient times. The system requires no heroism, produces no complications, and pays just enough to make complications undesirable. Then a village of three hundred and two people refuses to be calculated. What begins as a routine collection in the backwater of Ponteverde draws Remigio into a web of unpaid accounts, stubborn silences, and one woman who appears to have read the same manual on rational self-preservation - and abandoned it for reasons she declines to explain. The Weight of Destiny is a darkly comic historical fantasy in the tradition of Joe Abercrombie and Robin Hobb, set in a richly imagined medieval world where the smallest decisions carry the longest shadows. Perfect for readers who enjoy: - Morally complex protagonists who are good at their jobs and bad at everything else - Historical fiction with wit and precise prose - Fantasy grounded in economics, debt, and the inconvenience of other people
