"Chris Evans PLACES the broad sword and sorcery archetypes in a new and exciting environment. " R. A. Salvatore A land of thick jungle and mist-swirled mountains. An enemy moving unseen beneath the lush canopy. The growing threat of thaumics - a magic wielded by few that threatens to destabilise all. The youth of a kingdom sent to fight in a faraway hell while back home, discord and disillusionment reign - Chris Evans takes a daring new approach to the traditional world of sword and sorcery by thrusting it into a maelstrom of racial animus, drug use, rebellion, and a growing war that seems at once unwinnable and with no end in sight. In this thrilling epic, channelling the cultural upheaval and wholesale destruction of the Vietnam War, right and wrong, country and honour, freedom and sacrifice are all put to the ultimate test in the heart of a dark, bloody, otherworldly jungle. Praise for The Iron Elves trilogy "A masterful debut - if J. R. R. Tolkien and Bernard Cornwell had a literary love child, this would be it" Karen Traviss, #1 New York Times bestselling author "An outstanding military fantasy series unlike any since Glen Cook's beloved 'Black Company' series ... highly recommended" Library Journal "Readers will no doubt end up desperate for the next volume. " Publishers Weekly (starred review).
