His daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay’s door with a plea for help. Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk – or a combination of the three. I even got the chance to interview Nicholas on my blog! How cool! You can find the interview !!HERE!!Īs I’m such a nice guy and to give it more exposure and to make you buy and read the book if I haven’t badgered you enough already here is my review for Kings of the Wyld: Kings of the Wyld (The Band #1) by Nicholas Eames.Ĭlay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best - the meanest, dirtiest, most feared crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld. I’m not saying that it’s my book of the year for 2017 but it’s up there and you’ll just have to wait until I do a Top Ten Books of the Year for 2017 post later in the year to find out.

Seriously, I had the priviledge of being one of the first to review the previous book and Eames debut Kings of the Wyld way back in January and ever since then I have been championing it to everyone. OK, wow! Look at that cover! I mean it’s absolutely stunning! The only thing that would improve it is if they removed the Buzzfeed Books quote and replaced it with a The Tattooed Book Geek quote cos that blog fucking rocks! 🙂 I’m just saying! One of these days a publisher is going to quote me and I can quit blogging and be happy ) Regardless, I can’t wait! Hell, I’ve been waiting for the cover to be revealed ( it was finally revealed yesterday) just so that I could do a Waiting on Wednesday post for the book!

The expected publication date according to Goodreads is April 26th 2018 though I have read it will actually be released in July ( Amazon has the release date as July 12th though Amazon can be a bit shonky over such things at times). It’s time to take a walk on the wyld side. Led by the infamous Bloody Rose, Tam and her new band embark on a mission that will earn them everlasting fame - or certain death. So when she learns that the most revered mercenary crew in Grandual is in need of a bard, she grabs her lute and goes on tour. With a renowned mercenary for a mother and an illustrious bard for a father, battles and adventure seem the only way to really live. Tam Hashford has always dreamed of living through glory days of her own. This week I’ve chosen: Bloody Rose (The Band #2) by Nicholas Eames. Unfortunately the original creator is no longer able to host the meme and it has now linked up with Can’t Wait Wednesday over at Wishful Endings.

Waiting On Wednesday was a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine.Each Wednesday you got to highlight a book that you were really looking forward to.
