Even Gods Must Fall

Northern Crusade #6

by Christian Warren Freed

The Curtain of Darkness Falls
Time draws short. All armies, both enemy and ally, converge on the beleaguered kingdom of Delranan. All unwittingly approaching the seminal moment in the future of the world. The ruins of Arlevon Gale are ripe with activity as the vile Dae’shan prepare to open the portal between dimensions and finally release the dark gods. Should they succeed, all life will be devoured.
Bahr must struggled through personal conflict as he leads his team across the kingdom that should have been his. Scenes of epic destruction greet his every step, leading him to fear for his people. He must place is trust in the hands of others, a fact he’d spent a lifetime avoiding. Nothing matters now except for getting the Giant Groge into the ruins where he can destroy the Olagath Stone and end the looming threat.
The inevitable battle at Arlevon Gale will decide the fate of the entire world. Armies will clash. Men will fall. Soon the dead will outnumber the living. Malweir will never be the same again.

About the author

Christian W. Freed was born in Buffalo, N.Y. more years ago than he would like to remember. After spending more than 20 years in the active-duty US Army he has turned his talents to writing. Since retiring, he has gone on to publish over 25 military fantasy and science fiction novels, as well as his memoirs from his time in Iraq and Afghanistan, a children's book, and a pair of how to books focused on indie authors and the decision making process for writing a book and what happens after it is published.

His first published book (Hammers in the Wind) has been the #1 free book on Kindle 4 times and he holds a fancy certificate from the L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest. Ok, so it was for 4th place in one quarter, but it's still recognition from the largest fiction writing contest in the world. And no, he's not a scientologist.

Passionate about history, he combines his knowledge of the past with modern military tactics to create an engaging, quasi-realistic world for the readers. He graduated from Campbell University with a degree in history and a Masters of Arts degree in Digital Communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

He currently lives outside of Raleigh, N.C. and devotes his time to writing, his family, and their two Bernese Mountain Dogs. If you drive by you might just find him on the porch with a cigar in one hand and a pen in the other. You can find out more about his work by following him on social media:

Reviews

[Erik Orrantia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this entire series. I think it says a lot about an author who can keep such consistency over 6 books, keep the pace interesting, etc. I mentioned before that some of it was quite reminiscent of Lord of the Rings, sometimes suspiciously so. Still, I enjoyed the story. I was afraid the ending might be too predictable, and it was, which was a slight disappointment for having been such a faithful reader. I imagined in book four which characters would live and die and I had it spot on. For that, it's not five stars, but entertaining nonetheless.

[Mandy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Minotaurs, elves, dwarves, Wizards, goblins, dark gods, light gods, princes and princesses, warrior races, jungle races, northern races all of it, done extremely well. The ending had me crying like a baby.
