LEGENDS AREN’T BORN. THEY’RE FORGED.

Critics Review

Unflinchingly bloodthirsty and outrageously entertaining

Would I read the next one? Yes, absolutely. Bring me my hammer, bring my beer, bring it on! - SF CROWSNEST

Watson has created a brilliant and confident debut … If you like your fantasy packed with bloodthirsty Druids, hammer-wielding heroes, strong female leads, action, intrigue, betrayal, and a brilliantly conceived world then Age of Iron is for you. - THE BOOK BEARD

Watson’s tale is gore soaked and profanity laden - full of visceral combat and earthy humor, and laced with subtle magic. The blend of historical accuracy and authorial liberties suggests an old-school sword-and-sorcery epic, though with some modern sensibilities thrown in for good measure! - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Thoroughly entertaining from the get go … I really got a kick out of the AGE OF IRON - THE ELOQUENT PAGE
