Hawkwood and the Kings

Paul Kearney

Solaris, Jul 27, 2010 - Fiction - 704 pages

The world is in turmoil. In the east the savage Mer­duks, followers of the Prophet Ahrimuz, have cap­tured the holy city of Aekir. The western kingdoms are too distracted by internecine bickering to intervene and the Chruch seems more obsessed with rooting out heresy. It is an age where men go to the stake for the taint of magic in their blood, where gunpowder and cannon co-exit with werewolves and sorcerers. It is the turning point when two get reilgions will fight to the death and the common folk will struggle to merely survive.

Review: Hawkwood and the Kings (The Monarchies of God #1-2)

User Review - Goodreads

This is one of the best books I've read in recent memory. It's a shame that Kearney is not more well known among fantasy readers. I think his writing is every bit as good as George RR Martin.
