About this ebook
A band of fabled mercenaries tour a wild fantasy landscape, battling monsters in arenas in front of thousands of adoring fans. But, a secret and dangerous gig ushers them to the frozen north, and the band is never one to waste a shot at glory.
Live fast, die young.
Tam Hashford is tired of working at her local pub, slinging drinks for world-famous mercenaries and listening to the bards sing of adventure and glory in the world beyond her sleepy hometown.
When the biggest mercenary band of all, led by the infamous Bloody Rose, rolls into town, Tam jumps at the chance to sign on as their bard. It's adventure she wants -- and adventure she gets as the crew embark on a quest that will end in one of two ways: glory or death.
It's time to take a walk on the wyld side.
"Humorous twists and pulse-ratcheting action abound in Bloody Rose, but its Eames' knack for heart-wrenching poignancy that makes his warm, wonderful fantasy so harmonious." -- NPR

personally preferred kings of the wyld. was a solid book, definitely a fun story, but the character development on mc felt super weird to me. I'm also not really one edgyness, or sexual tensions when it feels unwarranted. It really felt like an isekai, if you know what those are. which isnt necessarily a bad thing, it's just not the same vibe I got from the first in the series at all and really threw me off.

If you loved Kings of the Wyld you'll love Bloody Rose, be warned it is a bit darker though. Looking forward to more books by Nicholas Eames

Not as well rounded as the first, but a good sequel that pushes the world and characters out of the previous book's comfort zone.

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.
