Kings of the Wyld

The Band, Book 1

By: Nicholas Eames

Narrated by: Jeff Harding

'A fantastic read, a rollicking, page-turning, edge-of-your-seat road-trip of a book' - John Gwynne, author of Shadow of the Gods

Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best - the meanest, dirtiest, most feared and admired crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.

But their glory days are long past; the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk - or a combination of the three. Then a former bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help: his daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy horde one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of impossible mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.

It's time to get the band back together for one last tour across the Wyld.

'Every avid fantasy reader, pay attention and let me do you a favour. Make sure you read this book no matter what. As of now, I'm calling Kings of the Wyld one of the best fantasy debuts of all time' Petrik Leo, Novel Notions

faaantastic

Loved the book. Hours flew by. Felt like a tale og an old D&D party.

refreshing taste of comedic fantasy

I'm not usually someone who enjoys comedy, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. the perfect flair of self-referential fantasy clichés, dark grit, humour and D&D references. I fun ride.

Stunning Adventure

a fantastically good adventure, I love the point of view, written from the view quiet heart of the group this story takes you on a winding adventure with intrigue and action at every corner, even the quiet times in the story are fill with soul and character.

Great tale

Somehow is both relatable, fantastical. funny and somber all at once. Would listen to again.

A magical mix of adventure, humour and philosophy

The author has a gift for describing the perspectives of old retired heroes, and bring comedy to otherwise terrible events.
Voice is fantastic.
Read. Listen. Repeat.
