About this ebook
'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' Novel Notions

I have seldom read a book that has such great balance between inventive humour, thrilling action and growing story while keeping pace and never leave the reader with a single boring page. Absolutely fantastically entertaining book.

An extremely enjoyable book. Written by a man who clearly enjoyed writing it. I suspect he is also a fan of Heavy Metal and D&D, which he wove seemlessly into this enjoyable romp that somehow got me feeling for the characters within

If you love epic fantasy like Lord of the Rings, The Witcher and Game of Thrones, then this book is definitely for you. A sword swinging rock n roll adventure of a book. Get it now!!?
About the author
Nicholas Eames was born to parents of infinite patience and unstinting support in Wingham, Ontario. Though he attended college for theatre arts, he gave up acting to pursue the infinitely more attainable profession of 'epic fantasy novelist'. Kings of the Wyld is his first novel. Nicholas loves black coffee, neat whiskey, the month of October and video games. He currently lives in Ontario, Canada, and is probably writing at this very moment.
