The City of Marble and Blood (Chronicles of Hanuvar Book 2)
THE CHRONICLES OF HANUVAR CONTINUE—SWORD AND SORCERY HEROICS ABOUND!
The great Volani general, Hanuvar, had faced many challenges, from gladiators and legionnaires to scheming sorcerers and dark gods, but he had not been stopped. Now, he returns to the land of his enemies, determined to find the remnants of his people, scattered into slavery across the peninsula.
This time, Hanuvar has no army to aid him. Instead, he embarks on a stealthy war of liberation, buying the freedom of some and arranging for the escape of others. He is aided by a young playwright, the daughter of a hated political rival, the tattered remnants of his old spy network, and an unlikely ally – the general who had once defeated him.
Arrayed against them are the mighty legions, the sorcerous revenants, and the wily Metellus of the Praetorian guard, ever alert to seize advantage. To add to their troubles, someone is drawing unwanted attention to the helpless Volani slaves by murdering influential Dervans and leaving the sign of the sacred Eltyr corps beside their bodies. This someone might well be Hanuvar's lost daughter, who has fought her way from captivity and is now being hunted through the countryside.
Worst of all, a magical attack has left Hanuvar with a lingering curse that might change him forever or lead him to an early grave. As Hanuvar and his unlikely allies struggle against the forces arrayed against them, they must confront not only the might of their enemies but also the possibility that one of their own may be working against them.
Praise for Lord of a Shattered Land:
"This wonderful work put me in mind of the stories I read when I was editing Baen's Robert E. Howard library." —David Drake, best-selling author of the Hammer's Slammers series, Redliners, and the RCN series.
"Howard Andrew Jones is the leading Sword & Sorcery author of the 21st Century . . . His Lord of a Shattered Land is his best work yet, a heroic fantasy retelling of one of the great tales of antiquity, the fall of Carthage and its legendary general Hannibal . . . It's a magnificent achievement, destined to become a modern classic." —John O'Neill, World Fantasy Award-winning publisher
"The book is a riveting portrait of a hero trying to keep his civilization alive in the wake of a devastating military defeat; it's a series of ripping yarns that collectively add up to a greater story with a deeper impact than any of its parts; it's another triumph for Howard Andrew Jones, premier wielder of the new edge in sword-and-sorcery." —James Enge, World Fantasy Award-nominated author
Praise for Howard Andrew Jones:
"Howard Jones writes not-to-be-missed epic fantasy with immersive world building and the highest stakes for the characters, fighting for personal survival and the survival of their world." —Martha Wells, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning author
"Howard Andrew Jones is a scholar and a gentleman, a deft multi-genre wordsmith . . . a living link between the tight action-adventure narratives of old and the sprawling epic fantasies of today." —Scott Lynch, author of The Republic of Thieves series
Howard Andrew Jones lives in a lonely tower by the Sea of Monsters with a wicked and beautiful enchantress. He's the author of the Ring-Sworn heroic fantasy trilogy from St. Martin's, starting with For the Killing of Kings, the critically acclaimed Arabian historical fantasy series starring Dabir and Asim (beginning with The Desert of Souls), and four Pathfinder novels.
When he's not editing Tales From the Magician's Skull or hunched over his laptop mumbling about flashing swords and doom-haunted towers, you might find him lurking on his website, where he blogs about writing craft, gaming, fantasy and adventure fiction, and assorted nerdery.
