Matthew Hughes's Blog: barbarians of the beyond - Posts Tagged "a-god-in-chains"

A GOD IN CHAINS, my new Dying Earth fantasy, is now available for pre-order in paperback and Kindle editions.

And here’s the blurb:

He calls himself Farouche, after a character from legend, but his reality is that his memories and identity were stolen from him by a secret enemy.

In a far-future world of wizards and walled cities, he finds himself trailing a wealthy merchant’s caravan across a dusty plain. Possessed of a soldier’s skills, he hires on with the merchant and begins to build a life. But his efforts to discover his past reveal a dark prospect: was he a participant in a notorious massacre of innocents?

Will Farouche come to know the truth? Will he survive the journey across a lawless land to the remote city of Olliphract, ruled by half-mad thaumaturges? And when he finally lays bare the plot in which he has been ensnared, will it be too late?

Matthew Hughes delivers another dark fantastical adventure set in a decadent Dying Earth, where men and half-men and even the gods themselves contend for earthly power and unearthly prizes.

I’ve posted on Curious Fictions the first 4500 words of A God in Chains, my new Dying Earth adventure/fantasy novel, published last month by Edge SF and Fantasy Publishing.

Here’s a link.

A God in Chains (Edge SF & Fantasy Publishing), my new Dying Earth adventure fantasy novel, has only been available for purchase for less than three weeks, but it has already garnered seven four- and five-star reviews on Amazon.com.

It usually takes longer than that for the reviews to build up. I'm interested to see what professional critics have to say about it.
