About this audiobook

A retired group of legendary mercenaries get the band back together for one last impossible mission in this award-winning debut epic fantasy.

"Fantastic, funny, ferocious." -- Sam Sykes

Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best, the most feared and renowned crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.

Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help -- the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.

It's time to get the band back together.

Ratings and reviews

what an absolute triumph of storytelling! charismatic and powerful; never shying away or afraid to wear it's heart in its sleeve, this book has me grinning ear to ear at so many moments, I've lost count! You can't go wrong with this story, and the rugged narration makes the audiobook all the better!

If you've ever played dnd and understand how S**t keeps happening to and around your characters this is a story about 1 such group.. incredible story. Great adventure through and through.

BRILLIANT! Eames serves epic high fantasy with a decidedly modern voice. This realm, whe'er it be, can't be that far from our own. Full disclosure: I'm a lore fanatic, e.g. Dragonrealm, Warcraft, Star Wars, Witcher, RWBY, Marvel, Avatar, Critical Role, Saga, Dragon Age, Fablehaven. I. Devoured. This. Book.

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 very probably writing at this very moment.
