Heroes are not born, they are forged in the fires of apocalypse...



Mercenary Kian Valara wants nothing more than to retire from a life of blood and butchery. But when an arrogant princeling offers him enough gold to buy a throne, Kian straps on his sword for one last mission. And besides, what could be easier than guarding a prince who wants to sow his royal seed in every backwater fortress and village throughout the realm?

Turns out, dying would’ve been easier.

Kian discovers too late that the prince’s ambition has shattered the foundations of the world, and that he intends to remake all Creation. As the moons collide and the skies burn, Kian and his devastated company of warriors hound the demented prince across a nightmare realm. To triumph, Kian must summon all his skill and courage, he must sacrifice more than he ever imagined he could, and he must embrace the dark secret that binds him to the power-mad prince.

Only one thing is certain: if Kian fails, the world of men will burn in the fires of apocalypse, and the God King will rule unchallenged and unpunished.



What reviewers are saying about The God King (Prequel)(Heirs of the Fallen series)

Epic Fantasy Gets a New Face - "I personally rank this up with the Belgariad from David Eddings. Mortal man faced with the power of the gods in the hands of an evil man seeking to be a god himself and the companions that help thwart that evil..." Five stars! - Amazon reviewer (verified purchase)

A Most Impressive Read - "Every once in a while you find a book that demands to be read. Call it a page turner, a great read, a classic or whatever. This is one of those books. A classic tale of good versus evil played out on a foreign world but rich in detail and descriptions that had me totally absorbed from start to finish." Five stars! - Amazon reviewer (verified purchase)

Exceptional - "Great story, great plot, great suspense. There is a great villain and a super hero and a wee touch of maybe falling in love for the hero and the girl. And I can't forget to mention his loyal and fearless life long friends. Monsters come & go , but love and friends are forever. This is worth reading." Five stars! - Amazon reviewer (verified purchase)

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

James A. West is the bestselling author of the epic fantasy series Heirs of the Fallen, and the heroic fantasy series Songs of the Scorpion. Between gritty quests, he recently decided to dip a toe into the primordial sludge from whence he sprang, and penned the dystopian thriller, Beasts of the Field. James is a native of the Pacific Northwest, but life is a road of many turns. He served in the US Army, spent a year as a long-haul truck driver with his wife (who also happens to be his high-school sweetheart), and attended the University of Montana. He lives in Montana with his wife. His bodyguard, a Mini-Schnauzer named Jonesy, is always near to hand. James has been known to work for chips and salsa. While James spends most of his time navigating alternative realities, he periodically comes up for air at: jamesawest.blogspot.com

Type of writer that has the ability to slide one in to the story by the ease of his writing style . Kian and the crew are wholly believable and a pleasure to rout for.

The God King is James A. West's debut novel and the first in the Heirs of the Fallen series.

I've had the pleasure of not having been disappointed in any one of the five novels I read in May. The streak continued in June with The God King. There seems to be scant few novels these days that are able to grab my attention within the first few pages or chapters, and James A. West showed me that it was still possible.

Kian Valara is our hero, albeit very unwillingly. Kian's an Izutarian, a northman from the land of Izutar. The northmen appear to be the same as in any other novel - from a snowy, frigid climate, tough, and with skin as white as snow. Kian's a mercenary, selling his sword to the highest bidder, who in this case happens to be the prince of another kingdom, Varis Kilvar of Aradan. Kian, believing this to be just another job but with an extraordinary payout. He and his comrades, the stone-faced, noble-looking Azuri and the large, jovial Hazad plan to retire following the job, but they planned with no idea what the goal of their charge was.

Ellonlef is another primary character and a Sister of Najihar. The Sisters of Najihar are trained in all arts, from scholarly to martial, and Ellonlef is one year from completing her tenure. Our third primary character is Prince Varis himself. Varis's chances of ascending to the throne are minimal, with his father and older brothers in line before him. He desires to change that and vanishes into a mysterious temple, beginning our story.

The first chapter involves the breaking of the prison of hell, or as the characters refer it, Geh'shinnom'atar. Geh'shinnom'atar is where the mahk'lar, the shadowy demons of the world were imprisoned. Peropis, Eater of the Damned, plays a major role in the release of the mahk'lar, which subsequently leads to the ascendance of the God King, hence the title.

Fantasy is rife with repetition, but most of us readers rarely seem to tire of it as long as the story is told well. West describes locations so that you can easily visualize them and writes situations in which you feel the doom and gloom of the story. Scenes with the mahk'lar are brilliantly done and very reminiscent of Peter V. Brett's Demon Cycle in that they're both very chilling. West is very convincing in his description and as the story progresses we are shown both sides of the conflict which made it very enjoyable. Kian begins the story as the unwilling hero, but he develops throughout the story, proving to us that he is more than just a tough mercenary. Ellonlef, through her training as a Sister, is a prime example of a strong female character in fantasy. In one fell stroke her tedious day to day life is shattered and she is hurled into the brutality of the world. She faces obstacles with courage and determination and she develops just as smoothly as Kian does.

The aspect that truly impressed me in The God King was the action. West proves himself to be a masterful wordsmith in describing the scenes so vividly that you can feel the sword nick Kian's cheek or the heat of flames as they sear the earth around him. Combine the great characterization and the fantastic action sequences and you have a fast-paced, gripping read by a new author.

From the cover and the title James A. West's The God King seems like a traditional fantasy novel with the stock unwilling hero or the grim swordsman and a very powerful enemy to overcome. The story is nothing new, but West tells it in such a way that makes it compelling enough for me to struggle to put it down. The God King is a dark fantasy novel worth reading and I'm eager for Wests's future work.

Wow what a fantastic book from cover to cover it held me in it's grip,
I would suggest over 12's as parts of it could be disturbing for the younger reader especially if they have an active imagination and are able to see in their minds eye the picture(s)

I took this book purely because it was free on Kindle at the time, I will soon be purchasing the rest in the series
