ABOUT THE BOOK

Of Blood and Fire is a return to the classic epic fantasy of old, but told with a modern narrative. An epic adventure with dragons, elves, dwarves, gods, and magic, set in a harsh, gritty world where good people struggle to protect the things they love.

Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North.

In the remote villages of southern Epheria, still reeling from thetragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving – a test of courage and skill that not all survive.

But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war that has been raging for centuries.

There is no prophecy. His coming was not foretold.
He bleeds like any man, and bleed he will.
