A fantasy series of epic potential.Five hundred years ago, the world was destroyed in the celestial Godswar. Seeking to throw off the shackles of the deities who created them, a cabal of mages rose up and made war upon the Gods. Though they won out, it was at a great cost: the ensuing cataclysm brought forth the Age of Ruin to the world.Five hundred years later, the world limps on, seemingly winding down to an inevitable end. Dystopian city states have arisen, each presided over by one of the Magelords who first made war. Corrupted, near-immortal, and far too powerful, those wizards who once sought to free the world now make war upon each other, while the helpless populace limp on from day to day.Into this blighted world, steps Davarus Cole, a boy obsessed with notions of heroism and adventuring, who burns to do great deeds. One night, in a reckless act, Cole gets himself into a brawl with the authories. He quickly finds himself sent away from the city, where the world still groans from the ancient cataclysm, and the corpses of Gods lie deep beneath the bedrock, leaking wild, uncontrolled magic into the world.

The best way to describe the books would be Abercrombie meets Erikson with possibly a hint of Mieville - though it would be foolish to compare myself to any of those names. It simply wouldn't be fair on them, at this early stage in their careers...

An annual schedule is the plan, with early 2014 presumably being the targeted release for Sword of the North. I'm now taking a complete break* from the internet in order to get the second manuscript finished; I'll return to this thread in June or so and answer any questions then.(* I will of course continue to check twitter, amazon, goodreads, and every single sf&f forum at least three times every hour anonymously while raging silently at everything constituting less than gushing praise. You have to It's important to be realistic about these things.)
