May brings the sequel to our favorite new grimdark Revenge Fantasy series!
A Blade of Black Steel
Author: Alex Marshall
Release Date: May 24, 2016
Series: The Crimson Empire Trilogy #2
First Book: A Crown for Cold Silver
The Crimson Empire feels (in the best ways) like Joe Abercrombie’s First Law Series mixed with Mark Lawrence’s Broken Empire Trilogy, but Crimson Empire also provides several distinct differences that make it both unique and highly entertaining.
Speaking specifically, using a fifty-something female primary POV character (General Zosia) breaks the mold on almost every fantasy cliché, and Zosia’s unstoppable drive for revenge combined with her masterfully creative use of profanity make her one of our favorite fantasy characters of all time, even with only two published works.
