Long after the last of the great heroes of old has died, the Undead King is stirring again, amassing a goblin horde ready to sweep out of the mountains and destroy all of humanity. The only thing preventing utter annihilation is Edmund—a stuttering librarian who knows a secret, a secret that every thief, assassin, and king would kill to have. Fleeing from relentless peril, Edmund wages a solitary battle against an ancient evil. But how can one man succeed when so many before him have failed? (Dark Fantasy)
an exciting new voice in the epic fantasy genre, not without a dollop of humour, which really works here. Ed’s inner voice was probably one of my favourite strands to the work, and although a lot of the tropes are present and used, there’s also something refreshing about falling into this world. As a debut, it really hits things on the head, and you can’t beet the price nor quality.
