Summary

Empires rise, civilisations fall and one culture comes to subsume another. It’s the way of the world … sometimes ways of life are improved, sometimes they are not. But the progression of change is huge and - usually - unstoppable.

In this story, the Ossian way of life is fading and the Dachen way is taking its place and Aren is comfortable with that. Even when his parents are accused of treason he supports the establishment and maintains there’s been some mistake … which is all it tak…

Critics Review

A well-written tale of revolution, dark magic, and a quest for an ancient game-changing artifact set in a well-built and well-realised epic fantasy world.

The Ember Blade is everything I could possibly want in an epic fantasy novel, and so much more. Buy this book as soon as it is available. - FANTASY BOOK REVIEW

If you like Brandon Sanderson you’ll love this. The best epic fantasy for years. - Gavin Smith, author of The Bastard Legion

It’s like David Eddings, Margaret Weis, Tracey Hickman and Terry Brooks had a brainstorming session over a power lunch… then Wooding stole their notes, drank their beer and set about skewing everything. …great fun, a classic epic fantasy. - WERTZONE

A well-written tale of revolution, dark magic, and a quest for an ancient game-changing artifact set in a well-built and well-realised epic fantasy world. - THE BOOK BAG

An incredibly rich and vibrant journey that works perfectly as a stand-alone story, but works even better as the promise of something larger. Big, bold and quite brilliant - SFBook.com
