"Absolutely loved it." – John Gwynne A brutal war against a vast empire. An immortal mage. A trickster god with chaos in mind. And a girl with the future of the world in her hands. In Emaneska, to consort with magick is to court death. Banned by the Arka Empire, magick's purging has finally brought peace to a war-torn land. Like any dutiful citizen, Mithrid Fenn wants nothing to do with magick. but when an illegal spellbook washes up on a beach after a battle between giant, unknown ships, Mithrid Fenn is thrust into a war she never knew existed. Her family slaughtered, Mithrid finds herself hunted by daemons and the emperor's assassins. She is dragged inexorably north to Scalussen, where mages, dragons, beastpeople, and witches doggedly wage a war for freedom against the tyrannical empire. But Mithrid only cares for revenge and nothing nobler. If killing the emperor means helping the Outlaw King, then so be it. Even if it means drowning the world in fire. ——— "Absolutely loved it. Epic fantasy with a contemporary twist, characters that you feel for or love to hate, and a cool nordic-inspired world. Ben is an accomplished writer with sharp prose and a storyteller’s touch." – John Gwynne “A deep, rich world, waiting to be explored.” – Matthew Ward, author of The Legacy Trilogy "It gave me the same feeling I felt when I read The Lord of The Rings for the first time." – Amy May Books "Ben Galley is one of the best voices in the dark fantasy genre." – Fantasy Faction "An epic page turner at its finest." – Amazon Review "Ben is an author who has breathed new life into epic fantasy. If you haven’t read these books yet, you really, really need to rectify that." – Bookworm Blues "If you enjoy entertaining fantasy that is epic in scope, filled with imaginative magic, thrilling adventure, and some evil antagonists to hate on, then you should read The Forever King as soon as possible." – Out Of This World
