Epic and Immersive Medieval Fantasy

 

This hardback is limited to 500 copies, and comes signed, numbered, embossed on the title page, and featuring a full-colour map on the inside of the dustjacket.

 

Sir Roslind of Aksson, fierce and unyielding, is not the only female knight; but she is few among men who cling to older ways. And while whispers of disdain are so easily heard in a land pushing beyond tradition, whispers of rebellion are more subtle, more insidious; and much more costly to ignore.

 

As the waves of religious reformation crash upon the shores of Aksson, a disgruntled son learns the error of his ways; a traitor leads an unexpected defence; an embattled cougari unsheathes his claws; and one who hides in plain sight will open the gates to a fearsome enemy with ancestral zeal in their hearts.

 

The Baron of Aksson is a powerful man, proud and ruthless; but he is fading, betrayal already at his door. As his daughter returns from years of training, she must prove her mettle in the fires of the old world as the siege bears down upon the great port city.

 

But one thing is certain.

 

Aksson will burn.

-

Welcome to the first book of The War of Souls Apocrypha. Written as a medieval-esque fantasy tale with a decidedly Gaelic feel, Knight of Gaelgara draws us swiftly into a vibrant, living city soon to face a siege and the first move in a greater war.

 

“…really captures the kind of dynamics that were found in real-world medieval realms…Martin [is] a master world builder…an excellent debut.” – Axel J. Kelly, ARC Reviewer (Ph.D. in 11th Century European History)

    I will recommend to others

    I liked the book.

    However, there are a lot of shifts in perspective. This took me out of the flow of the book. So I'm deducting a star. But I love the writing and characters. You sympathise with those who deserve it, and with others you hope during their chapters that they will be brought to justice.

    I bought the hardback version with a map. It's brilliant! I think every book should have a map like this, so you don't have to keep flipping to the front.

    I can't wait to see what happens next!
