I am the author of The Gods and Kings Chronicles and Fractured Throne. I currently live in Arizona with my family. When I am not writing (which seems to take up more of my time these days) I enjoy playing soccer, tinkering with Photoshop, and exploring the world.

man, elf, dragon, magic , all gather together to fight the dark forces of necromancy and the dead forces created by it. from one confused young man, led by a voice in his head, the dead arise and join the ancient evil that the three worlds thought controlled. discontent is sowed and war damns them all. only one thing can save them and that might need the faith of many to make it happen.
I thoroughly enjoyed this! the characters were well planned. bit of confusion over the names occasionally, but i caught on. now I must but the prequel and sequel! a must read!!!
I'd like to give it a 4.5 star but thats not an option, and 4star seems to be a negative rating these days. A gripping and fantastic epic fantasy series, with loads of distinct and unqiue characters and a quick-paced plot. Fun new author, there's a few hiccups with writing and pacing here and there, but overall its great stuff, indie authors are the future and its high-time a guy like Lee Haywood gets the recognition he deserves.
I'd love to see this trilogy translated into a tv series one day, although i have no faith in western tv studios to do it justice after the last few abominations of great works i've seen released.
I'm no fortune teller, but this series just might become a classic. :-) The characters are realistic, as is the difference in how they are perceived based on who's point of view you are reading from. The setting is intriguing and detailed, and kind of makes me want to know more.
WoW!, just finished the trilogy, a master storyteller, characters superbly developed and well written. I loved these chronicles, if you like Terry Brooks, you will enjoy reading these books.
Enjoyed reading these!!! Lots of characters, but that's the way I like it, especially when it's been done correctly, and you did. Look forward to reading more about your world!!!
Interesting characters and enjoyable storyline . Dragon's , elfs, dwarfs, men and of course a necromancer all out together in a good enjoyable trilogy with plenty of battles .
Some might say I'm nuts but one man's tyrant is another's hero. The necromancer probably went about it wrong but had he said no to the wyrm he would be dead, and if he had took one city at a time he would have been the hero.
I did enjoy the story. My major difficulty was keeping track of who was who and geography of their world. Luckily, there are maps and a glossary that helped identify places and people. The story is a well written and held my interest.
I must say Lee Haywood is a masterful storyteller. This book takes you on such a journey with so many twists and turns that you will not want to put this book down. It has lots of drama and action and a story that reveals itself as you go along. This is the kind of book that deserves to be a mini series on TV. I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed this book. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everybody. I can't wait to read more by this author
