"Pawn of the Demon Prince" by Charles Moffat

Young Katya Yerovik has been raised in an elven monastery almost as long as she can remember... and her memories before then haunt her as nightmares about her father and herself being chased by a red-eyed horse with fiery hooves. When she reaches adulthood she sets out traveling west towards the Holy City of Kost to try and find her father. Armed with a bow, a sword and some rusty armour she faces the dangers of the road. 

But unknown to Katya she has been a pawn in a game of Milito from since before she was born, and the player is none other than the demon prince Varaziak who has set his sights on the Holy City of Kost.

Accompanied by her friends, Grier the elven wizard and Calvin the gnome warrior, Katya searches for her father and seeks to unravel the mystery of how she came to be raised in an elven monastery.

"Embers Rising" by Sterling Carmichael

They expected their heist to yield coin, not conspiracies. What the former mercenaries find is a deadly plot that could destroy their country.

The nation of Arian may have recently shed its monarchy for a more democratic government, but reform hasn’t changed the rules of survival on the streets. Currency is king, and almost everyone is for sale . . . at the right price.

Ex-warrior and sell-sword Kaimana knows this well. When he hears his corrupt old employer is on his deathbed, Kaimana sees a chance to pay off his gambling debts and recruits a friend to help him unburden his former employer of a few valuables. Laurenze, a half-elven expert thief who worked with the rest of their defunct mercenary group, agrees to come out of retirement for one last job.

Unfortunately, their plan goes sideways when they discover the old man used them to consolidate the country’s riches into one person’s coffers: Twylo, a ruthless politician running in the next election who will set reforms back by decades—or worse—if he ever gains enough power.

Kaimana and Laurenze alert the remaining members of their group, who scattered after a disastrous mission drove them apart almost a decade ago. Twylo may have the upper hand, but he has no clue who he’s double-crossed . . . and they’re going to make sure it’s the worst mistake of his life.

"Embers Rising" is the first of a series. 


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sterling Carmichael was born and raised in Edmonton, Canada. After traveling he eventually found his way to Edinburgh, where he lived and worked for a year before heading home again. After returning to Canada he entered the rat race and while he has enjoyed a fruitful career, he knew that it was something that was just a means to an end. It was writing that had always captivated him and the urge to become an author was too strong to ignore.

Today in his free time Sterling enjoys sampling craft beers, reading works of fantasy fiction, playing various musical instruments poorly, attempting to retain physical fitness, and generally consuming way too much pop culture. He is a huge Star Trek geek and could spend hours arguing with friends about the various series’ merits, episodes, and characters.

The Adventures of Wrathgar (TAOW)

The Adventures of Wrathgar (TAOW) is a massive series of novels (and 1 novella) by heroic fantasy author Charles Moffat. The series follows the adventures and escapades of barbarian archer Wrathgar and his friends/lovers/allies.

The series includes:

  • The Assassin's Trail
  • The Blizzard's Daughter
  • The Coven's Wolves
  • The Demon's Sacrifice
  • The Exorcist's Dagger
  • The Frost Giant's Tomb

Plus the novella "The Sunken Castle", which takes place between books 1 and 2.

As you may have guessed, Moffat's stated goal is to write a series of 26 novels (A to Z effectively), which will chronicle the story of Wrathgar from his teen years into old age. The word count of the finished 26 book series will easily exceed that of other large series like The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and dwarf smaller series like ASOIAF by George R. R. Martin.

The series features realistic portrayals of friendships and romantic relationships, and similar realism when it comes to battle, swordplay, archery, and world building. Charles Moffat, an archery instructor who prides himself on perfectionism, researches his topics heavily before writing them for the sake of realism, and his experience teaching archery for 15+ years is indicative of his knowledge on the subject matter.

Like GRRM however, Moffat has a nasty habit of killing characters. So be careful which characters you get attached to, because they could die in a later book.
