Charming

I found this book to be a fun and engaging read.
Solid world building coupled with a well structured character arc. I look forward to a sequel.

For fans of the Reaper Warlord tabletop game. This book chronicles Ian's journey from his village to joining the Crusaders to fighting against the Necropolis. There are unresolved plot points that could turn into a sequel one day.

Good Book

This was a great book and I love the character. The end of the book came too soon. Hope you write more.
