About this ebook

In a realm where power attracts the worst kind of person, being Unwanted might be their salvation…

Michael leads the most feared warband in the Warlord’s domain, his abilities with the veil making him indispensable to the ruthless ruler. But when an army threatens their borders and whispers of rebellion echo through the streets, even the Unwanted’s legendary powers might not be enough to hold their world together.

Michael’s hands are already full with the Warlord’s true-born son Aiden who seethes with jealousy, his brother Steven’s betrayal and a troubled recruit named Damien who struggles to control his devastating connection to the veil as enemies close in from all sides. Leading the invading forces is Jaclyn, the Sylannian kingdom’s most celebrated commander whose military genius has already brought the mighty trading clans to their knees. 

With power-hungry nobles plotting the warlord’s downfall and a Sylannian Commander seeking to conquer them all, Michael and his Unwanted must forge their own path in a world that never wanted them.

Unwanted is the first novel of an epic fantasy series that explores the true cost of power and the strength found in those cast aside by society.

Ratings and reviews

In a world torn by conflict, it is the unwanted who fight for survival. At nearly 18 years of age, Damien knows his peaceful life in the only village he’s ever known is about to change. Either his burgeoning powers of the veil will kill him, which at least would bring an end to the pain and the mistrust and fear of his friends and neighbours, or the Warlord and his infamous warband, the Unwanted, will track him down.

The story is so rich and detailed; it felt like living in another world

engaging read with a balanced and clear narrative
