Oaths of Blood Featured
Listing Details
A shadow war spanning centuries… In 1099, the armies of Christendom march for Jerusalem. Mercenary captain Robert Cutnose finds himself in the belly of a siege tower waiting to storm the walls in a desperate attempt to take the city. But what they find inside the city is far more terrifying than the arrows and spears that fly their way. After a savage attack by the moonlight, Cutnose’s lifeblood leaks from his veins, and he is thrust into an immortal war between the Order and their prey they simply call the Hunted. Each desires to own a relic with power far greater than he could ever imagine. With the aid of a secretive party of warriors, he must track down the man who ripped out his throat in the blink of an eye, for if he does not, his future as a human will be short. As he crawls deeper into the shadows, it is clear, only oaths made in blood survive. A war-filled journey through the crusades and into the depths of the ancient Noctis Bellum. Filled with legendary characters both barbaric and gray, driven by valor and treachery alike, the Oaths of Blood Saga is an action-packed grimdark historical fantasy in the vein of Joe Abercrombie, Bernard Cornwell, and John Gwynne. "If you thought you knew the story of Stamford Bridge, I invite you to read Bridge of Kings, a thoroughly imaginative and visceral retelling of the battle. The characters, the prose, the dialogue and the action all blend perfectly into a heady tale fit for a king's mead hall. And it's only just beginning. Well done and five stars." Eric Schumacher, bestselling author of God’s Hammer, Hakon’s Saga “Although it is termed a fantasy novel there is more than enough history oozing through its pages to satisfy any historian. The characters are fully fleshed out. The battle scenes are well and accurately written. It is a well-paced novel that has the reader turning the pages quickly to discover what joys await on the next page.” - bestselling historical fiction author, Griff Hosker “Bloody, brutal, and brilliantly action-packed. Historical fantasy that will sink its fangs into you!” — Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade “A brilliant take on Norsemen battling in Saxon territory. This Historical Fantasy will scratch the itch of any reader who loves action scenes, with bloody and terrifying yet gripping plot. Ulf Bodvarsson the berserker, steals the show and carries it on his shoulders. Can't for the next entry of Logan D. Irons” - SK Putt, author of Kinslayer “This one is perfect for readers who enjoy Norse mythology, John Gwynne-esque combat, grimdark situations ala Joe Abercrombie, as well as a good spear through the eye socket.” - Dave Lawson
