'Crackles with excitement and adventure on every page' Fantasy Book ReviewĮnter a war-torn world where gunpowder and magic collideThe nation of Fatrasta is a haven for criminals, rebels, adventurers and sorcerers seeking relics of the past. (Mar.The action-packed start to a thrilling new epic fantasy series from award-winning author Brian McClellan, set in the same world as the Powder Mage trilogy Agent: Caitlin Blasdell, Liza Dawson Associates. This is a great start to what promises to be a terrific series. The combination of fantasy and firearms compares favorably with Brandon Sanderson’s work and the milieu recalls Thieves’ World. Several characters first appeared in McClellan’s Powder Mage trilogy but this work stands well on its own. They must all brave the Palo stronghold of Greenfire Depths, where street thugs are common and legendary Dynize dragonmen lurk. Each of them runs up against the mysterious figure of Gregious Tampo, an individual who’s both dapper and deadly.
Benjamin Styke is the former colonel of the Mad Lancers and still a formidable killer he’s just been released from a work camp and is newly arrived in the city. Vlora Flint is a powder mage and the commander of the Riflejacks, a mercenary army summoned to Landfall to find Mama Palo, leader of the disaffected Palo minority. Michel Bravis is an operative in Landfall’s secret police who has been assigned to find who is behind the seditious pamphlet titled Sins of Empire. McClellan ( The Autumn Republic) begins his Gods of Blood and Powder series with this tale set in Landfall, a city where mercenary troops and secret police may not be enough to prevent revolution.
