'Epic fantasy for readers who appreciate extra helpings of carnage with their backstabbing'
Publishers Weekly on Battlemage
Voechenka is a city under siege. Decimated by the Battlemage war, its restless dead attack every night, begging the living to join them beyond the grave.
Three survivors will fight to save the city.
TAMMY, whose investigation could rescue Voechenka from its grisly fate.
ZANNAH, who must pay penance for her war crimes.
And BALFRUSS: scholar, traveller, and battlemage.
'Aryan's battle scenes are visceral masterpieces that transport the reader deep into the melee'
Taran Matharu, author of the Summoner novels
'A vivid and rousing adventure with the kind of magic that punches you right in the face'
