Well, here in Maine it is raining and blowing like a good ole fashioned Nor’easter. The temperature isn’t even climbing past 60 degrees! And that is the forecast for the whole weekend….
BUT, I can’t complain. Cause you see, this PERFECT reading weather! As if I didn’t have enough to choose from, author Steven Montano just released the first book in his new fantasy series! And boy, he is a great writer. Guess I’m gonna have to get this and get hooked! Cause boy, this just sounds good.
It’s been three decades since the Blood Queen led her legions on a brutal campaign of conquest and destruction, and the Empires are still struggling to rebuild. Now, in the distant aftermath of the war, the real battle is about to begin.
Haunted by the crimes of his past, fallen knight Azander Dane ekes out a mercenary existence as he drifts from one city to the next. His latest job is to hunt down Ijanna Taivorkan, a powerful outlaw witch desperate to escape her destiny.
Dane and Ijanna find themselves in Ebonmark, the City of Scars, where deadly crime guilds and shadowy agents of the White Dragon Empire prepare for a brutal confrontation. Pursued by apocalypse cults, mad alchemists, exiled giants and werewolf gangs, Dane and Ijanna soon learn a deadly lesson – in Ebonmark, only the cruelest and most cunning can survive.
City of Scars is the first volume of The Skullborn Trilogy, an all new epic fantasy adventure from the author of Blood Skies.
