PRAISE FOR STEPHEN ARYAN

“Packing in an epic’s worth of action and feeling, this thought-provoking fantasy argues that even the most vicious monster battles are less harrowing than the struggles within men’s souls. This is a knockout.”
– Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“Magnificent…Exactly the sort of breathless adventure we need after a lockdown year”
– SFX Magazine

“Aryan’s newest series is sure to please  fantasy readers; he wraps everything up masterfully while leaving just enough unresolved questions for the sequel”
– Booklist

“A tremendous sword & sorcery romp with a lot of heart and plenty to say. I really enjoyed this book.”
– Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones

“Stephen Aryan puts the epic into Epic Fantasy.”
– Den Patrick, author of The Boy with the Porcelain Blade

“Aryan’s battle scenes are visceral masterpieces that transport the reader deep into the melee.”
– Taran Matharu, author of the Summoner series

“Sparkling action sequences punctuate keen dialogue and a journey full of colour and interest… Compelling, consuming and a novel in which no character can be considered supporting cast… Bring on the sequel.” 
– James Barclay, author of The Chronicles of the Raven

“Fast-paced and action-packed, steeped in plots and schemes – a great fantasy tale.”
– Ed Cox, author of The Relic Guild Trilogy
