Lamentation

In "Lamentation," the first book of the Psalm of Isaak series by Ken Scholes, the once-thriving city of Windwir is devastated by an ancient weapon, heralding the arrival of war in the Named Lands. From a distance, Rudolfo, the Lord of the Nine Forest Houses, witnesses the smoke and realizes that impending conflict will disrupt the fragile alliances among the kingdoms. The tale follows a young apprentice, the sole survivor of the catastrophe, as hidden plots emerge and the complexities of human nature—war, faith, and love—remain central even in this distant future world.
