Product description

Review

"Expertly wrought . . . a vigorous, bravura saga."―Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Legacy of Light

"Hugely entertaining."―John Gwynne on Legacy of Ash

"Magnificent and epic."―Grimdark Magazine on Legacy of Ash

"Epic fantasy as it should be: big, bold and very addictive."―Starburst on Legacy of Ash

"Packed with big battles, shadowy intrigue and a large cast of characters, Legacy of Ash is an absorbing debut."―James Islington on Legacy of Ash

"Ward sends out the mammoth and extremely rewarding trilogy that began with Legacy of Ash with this expertly wrought epic ... Ward breathes new life into familiar tropes while convincingly maneuvering his huge cast to universally satisfying conclusions. The result is a vigorous, bravura saga." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Legacy of Light

"Expertly interspersing vivid action sequences with quiet, introspective stretches, Ward guides readers and characters alike through this winding, well-crafted saga. The result is an impressive series opener."―Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Legacy of Ash

"Packed with big battles, shadowy intrigue and a large cast of characters, Legacy of Ash is an absorbing debut."―James Islington on Legacy of Ash

"A hugely entertaining debut."―John Gwynne on Legacy of Ash

"As intricate as a precision-engineered watch; as surprising as a precision-engineered watch with a concealed face-stabbing mechanism."―Gareth Hanrahan on Legacy of Ash

"Epic fantasy as it should be: big, bold and very addictive."―Starburst on Legacy of Ash

"An incredibly impressive piece of fantasy fiction."―The Fantasy Inn on Legacy of Ash

"This is the first epic fantasy book I've enjoying getting immersed in for ages . . . a great romp in a brilliantly realized setting . . . I have lost sleep, forgotten food and made this the thing what I pick up every moment I can get."―SFFWorld on Legacy of Ash

"A perfect blend of Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom."―FanFi Addict on Legacy of Ash

About the Author

Matthew Ward is a writer, cat-servant and owner of more musical instruments than he can actually play (and considerably more than he can play well). He's afflicted with an obsession for old places—castles, historic cities and the London Underground chief among them—and should probably cultivate more interests to help expand out his author biography.

After a decade serving as a principle architect for Games Workshop's Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 properties, Matthew embarked on an adventure to tell stories set in worlds of his own design. He lives near Nottingham with his extremely patient wife—as well as a pride of attention seeking cats—and writes to entertain anyone who feels there's not enough magic in the world.
