"People. Eat. Angels!" - Reader Review

"A true Epic. The type of book that reminds you why you fell in love with Fantasy." - Reader Review

--

History is Written in Blood. Fate is Forged in Holy Fire.

Helesia is a land held in the iron grasp of a tyrant. Faith is outlawed, punishable by death, and the last of the legendary divinities are hunted for the immortality their blood provides. Worse still, ancient Terrors slither from the darkness, devouring entire cities. And far to the East, the Forgemistress of Ashvold gathers her monstrous Kin and prepares to end the Fourth Age of Man.

But when all hope seems lost, the truest of souls take up the sword.

A prophecy of rebirth, whispered from the lips of a mad angel, binds the fate of three souls…

The last of the immortal Godless Kings standing eternal vigil against the divine tyrant he helped to slay.

A wildling boy on the run, chased by his mother’s own assassins.

And a young washer woman who dreams of adventure and knows nothing of the danger hiding in her blood.

When the earth bleeds and the sky burns, the last Herald of the Age will walk the mortal world.

But which side will they choose?
