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.
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.

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 rolls into town, led by the infamous Bloody Rose, 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.

Ok so i may seem a little late to the table with these two books, but that’s because i wanted to read them when i could really enjoy them, to spend time on them, and am i so glad i did, this is a truly excellent new series. Its been a long time since i’ve read anyone who reminds me so much of James Barclay (an author who deserves to have been sooo much bigger). The characters and new , fresh, funny, a team dedicated to each other over and above any mission or cause, friends and family come first, even if you need to cross the most dangerous land and battle an entire horde to get there….
What won me to these books is the easy comradeship, the conversation and the gallows humour, i chuckled all the way through these books and i read them both twice, something i almost never do, there is an easy reading qulity to these while containing complex and very real characters.
There is no need to analyse every person or place in this review….. simply if you love reading go buy these books, they are awesome , Nicholas Eames has with 2 books jumped onto my MUST read pile and must collect book shelf.
beyond Highly recommended … you would be mad not to buy these
