The Ashes of Amori Trilogy #1
The Ashes of Amori : Volume I (Book One of the Brishian War Saga: An Epic Military Fantasy)
Under the surface of peace fume the ashes of war.
After fifteen years of truce with the nomadic Amorian tribes, the city-state Brisha is about to be engulfed in another war. With rumor of the rise of an old enemy thought long dead, Jakob Rook is sent north to the heart of a younger and brutally ambitious sovereignty that may either help Brisha halt an impending war or prove to be the orchestrator of events.
As Brisha prepares for siege, Sallar, an orphan newly initiated to the guard, discovers that the streets haven’t finished with him yet. Secret terrors seem to be dragging the entire city into chaos—terrors about which Sallar tries to warn his friend, Dee. But Dee has chosen her own path, and as she is drawn deeper into the mystery of what lurks below the city, she discovers that there are a few dangerous men and women at Brisha’s core who know something about Brisha itself for which nothing could have prepared its inhabitants.
The first book in a military fantasy trilogy. Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, Gene Wolfe, Robin Hobb, John Gwynne, and Steven Erikson.
Author's This series was written by the author over a period of 15 years. It was written out of a love of literature and great stories and out of the sentence-by-sentence joy of the labor of writing itself.
