A Reign of Emerald Fire

A REIGN OF EMERALD FIRE IS THE DEBUT NOVEL OF A NEW FANTASY SERIES BY AUTHOR MATTHEW J TURNER.
Disgraced Commander of the King's 1st, Stánwilte Yoakilor pins his hopes upon a hastily cobbled together band of misfits, gallivanting around the kingdom of Uprynenos on a mishap-strewn path to redemption.
Brolo, the half-elf/half-dwarf tags along, deluded by a desire to experience the skull-cracking, knuckle-dusting escapades allegedly undertaken by his absent father, if his drunkenness and sharp tongue doesn't get him killed first.
Far away in the desolate Ánad, a desert far beyond the reaches of the King's Law, Yilonia flees the wrath of her father, the Earl of Stunheath, unaware that his fiery temper should be the least of her concerns.
Set within a double-edged world where stark and brutal events are cut with a wry-humoured absurdity, this opening tale focuses on the painful fusing together of outcasts into a dysfunctional family, bonded by their shared magnetism for misfortune and grief.
"A glorious mesh of characters and events that propels the pages forward with endless excitement and humour... Wonderful..." Tyler, Indie Book reviewer
