Heirs of the Fallen
The end is only the beginning….
In The God King: Mercenary Kian Valara wants nothing more than to retire from a life of blood and butchery. But when an arrogant princeling offers him enough gold to buy a throne, Kian straps on his sword for one last mission. And besides, what could be easier than guarding a prince who wants to sow his royal seed in every backwater fortress and village throughout the realm?
Turns out, dying would’ve been easier.
Kian discovers too late that the prince’s ambition to gain powers never meant for the hands of men has shattered the foundations of the world. If Kian fails to stop him, the world will burn in the fires of apocalypse, and the God King will rule unchallenged and unpunished….
Crown of the Setting Sun: Two centuries after the Upheaval and the fall of the God King, a new ruler has arisen to enslave the world. Known only as the Faceless One, this mysterious figure is revered, worshiped, merciless, and he stands unopposed….
In the far flung deserts of Geldain, sixteen-year-old Leitos crushes stone by day, and by night shivers in a cramped cell. A slave’s life is brutal and short, but absolute obedience ensures the gifts of peace and bread. All that changes when his grandfather rises against their inhuman slavemasters, forcing upon Leitos a freedom he never sought.
Now hounded by the Faceless One’s demon-born Hunters, Leitos struggles to survive his harsh new existence, while at the same time trying to heed his grandfather’s last words: “Seek the Brothers of the Crimson Shield.”
Those words are his only hope to discover the truth of his people’s enslavement, his only guide to find a secret order of heroes … and they are the words of a madman.
Shadow and Steel: A year can change much for a young former slave, especially when he falls in with a Brotherhood of deadly warriors willing to train him in all the ways needed to make war against the Faceless One.
But while Leitos has been honing himself into a living weapon, the Faceless One’s hordes have relentlessly sought the Brotherhood of the Crimson Shield and their island sanctuary … and now they have found them.
Vastly outnumbered, Leitos and the Brothers suffer a devastating set back, and the only way to settle the score is to set sail into a storm as fierce and unpredictable as their future. Little does Leitos know that destiny has forced him onto a treacherous path of shadow and steel, a path that will lead him directly to the Faceless One.
Wrath of the Fallen: After learning the shocking truth of the world’s greatest adversary, Leitos knows time is short. He now must gather an army strong enough to make open war upon the Faceless One, the Bane of Creation.
But those he once counted on are now unwilling to stand with Leitos. He knows the final battle between humankind and demon-born will be fought, even if he must face the wrath of the Fallen alone.
