"An epic tale…"—Library Journal

Read the first three books in the series reviewers are calling, "Gritty, fast-paced, and compelling!"

Includes a BONUS short story!

FIRE AND SWORD

A shadow of its former self, once powerful Brynth is now a realm destroyed by plague, famine, and monstrous beings. Every corner harbors danger, and a covert war threatens to engulf the land. Amidst this chaos, Aldous Weaver's quiet life as a monk is shattered when dormant forbidden magic rises within him, leaving destruction in its wake.

Condemned to die, Aldous battles to control the ancient power within. Then a chance encounter with fellow prisoners—terrifying fugitive Kendrick the Cold and arrogant monster hunter Theron Ward—offers him a choice: flee for his life or stand with his newfound allies against a peril that endangers not just him but all citizens of Brynth, the very people who would see him hanged. But with dark sorcery and ancient evil devouring the land, can anyone survive?

CATACOMBS OF TIME

Wizard Aldous Weaver and his companions—terrifying fugitive Kendrick the Cold and arrogant monster hunter Theron Ward—seek respite in the seemingly tranquil town of Strubore. But they quickly discover that danger lurks beneath the facade of peace.

As Aldous grapples with haunting dreams of an ominous future, Strubore becomes a battleground laced with treachery and lies. Caught in a conflict not of their making, Aldous and his companions fight to delay the execution of a potentially innocent prisoner.

Meanwhile, in the far future, skilled-yet-tormented Doctor Gaige De’Brouillard is tasked with curing a golden-furred lycan whose survival could determine the course of the past.

THE PYRES

In war-torn Romaria, the clash between a new order and ancient gods rocks the very foundations of the country. As wizard Aldous Weaver struggles to master his newly awakened power, he and his companions—infamous fugitive Kendrick the Cold and arrogant monster hunter Theron Ward—are reluctantly enlisted as mercenaries to hunt down a demon hidden in human guise within Brasov, the sprawling city of white stone.

But when a monstrous horde musters in the forests poised to unleash chaos on the night of the Pyres, Aldous will do anything to get his friends out alive. He’ll make any deal, cast any spell regardless if the cost is his life…or far more.

Unique, interesting, entertaining

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019

Although I was put off by some of the repeated descriptions of the monsters, and the timeline jumps took me a moment to catch up to, I found myself really enjoying these books. The characters were likeable and well-written. The plot was definitely gripping. After reading these three, I had to immediately get the remainder of the series. I'm very much looking forward to finishing it all.

Gripping, exciting and well-written (but violent)

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this box set. The story is very gripping, the characters are well-developed and pull you in. I like how the heroes aren't perfect, but very flawed and all very different. In some books characters almost blur together, or are non-descriptive, but not in these books. I feel like I know them.

Dylan Doose has a great writing style and I really enjoy the descriptiveness of it for the most part. There are some wonderful phrases that I enjoyed reading just for the sake of reading them, because they were worded so awesomely.

The only thing I didn't enjoy is the very detailed, lengthy battle descriptions. I know some people do enjoy it, so it's a preference, obviously. I can handle some of it, but I got tired/a it sickened of eyeballs popping out and skulls crushing with descriptive sounds etc. etc. I am sure battle really is like that, so I can't say it's exaggerated. Just puts me off.

I may get the rest of the books, because, as I said, the story etc. is really great and I'd like to know what happens next.

Great writing I have missed straightforward sword and sorcery novels. Good plot and excellent characters. Everything that a novel of this type should be.

Difficult to review, book 1 - 5 stars!! Great story, love the characters. Book 2 - 2 stars, confusing, book 3- 2 stars, too much gore that NEVER ends! The battle goes on and on and on...still like main characters, but not entirely sure where the characters ended up by the end. The on going, never ending gorish battle became too boring for me to keep up with what actually happened to all of the main characters. Dead, alive? In the real world? Or some other dimension? IDK!

Okay Books at a decent price

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2019

So, I gave this 5 stars because it doesn’t deserve the one-star rating with which it is burdened. Is this is a 5 star fantasy series? I dunno. It plods in places, most books do. I read quite a bit, but I rarely leave a review. These books are a fun read. They don’t deserve to be maligned with such a low rating. Are they, as described in the sales blurb, like Joe Abercrombie, Scott Lynch, and Mark Lawrence? No. But they’re good books nonetheless.

No squeamish tummies should read these

I did like these books 📚. There was a lot of gore! But it was exciting and creative. The characters are believable, for the most part. The one negative thing I have to say is there is WAY TOO MUCH SWEARING!!! Communication can happen without all that

I read the box set in a week and was sad when it ended. Couldn't figure out a reason to go to bed without the trio of heros so I bought book 4. I like the writing style, descriptions are so visual and, at times, smellable! Exciting story. I'd recommend it for a thrilling ride to magical lands.

Very descriptive gorry, violent content

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is pretty much a hack and slash book with magic added in for more bloodshed. It's quite graphic. Those with squeamish stomachs should avoid reading this book. The only female character gets killed off early on so there is no romance in this series. On the up side the story is finished though there is always the next adventure for the survivors. Its is NOT a cliff hanger (hate those things!)

Normally I dont go for fantasy books but quite enjoy it and I am not book 3 now. It's not always the hero that gets saved and not sure how it ends but it is a good read that keeps the interest up

Painful to understand the story after book 1

Reviewed in Australia on November 9, 2019

The story started out fairly but by the time I got to the second book it was utterly confusing only by the time the 3rd book it started to gradually come clear what the heck was happening in the previous book. By that time I had had enough

I couldn't go on reading and skipped most of this story only because there was no end to the slaughter and violence. Perhaps too close to the Trump U S A.
