About the author

Standing over six feet tall, USA Today bestselling author Jonathan Moeller has the piercing blue eyes of a Conan of Cimmeria, the bronze-colored hair of a Visigothic warrior-king, and the stern visage of a captain of men, none of which are useful in his career as a computer repairman, alas.

He has written the DEMONSOULED series of sword-and-sorcery novels, and continues to write THE GHOSTS sequence about assassin and spy Caina Amalas, the COMPUTER BEGINNER'S GUIDE series of computer books, and numerous other works. His books have sold over one million copies worldwide.

Reviews

[Paul Bird · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great entry. Its really cool to see so many references to previous books and events and even a familiar face. I still think there is more to explore back in Andomhaim with Ridmarks descendants and the war with the Heptarchy, so I do hope the author plans more series after this. But I certainly have been enjoying my time in Owyllain. I am very curious about who Talembur is. He was born 300 years ago but remembers the blades of Ruin, which were made 100 years ago. I do hope we get some more definitive answers soon and the mystery isn't dragged out too much.

Overall I am always happy to return to this world, these books contain everything I love about fantasy.

Great read as always, Jonathan. The plot in this series keeps you thinking about what's next. I would recommend your work to anyone who likes fantasy. I was wondering who would take over from the old character.
