The story unfolds in a world under siege as giants invade Teldwen, prompting humanity to seek a new magic in A Plague of Giants.
In A Plague of Giants, the first installment of a captivating new series, the acclaimed author of The Iron Druid Chronicles introduces readers to a richly imagined world filled with conflict and magic. The narrative unfolds in the realm of Teldwen, where two formidable factions—the Bone Giants from the east and the fire-wielding Hathrim from the south—initiate a devastating invasion. This conflict ignites a war that threatens to engulf the six nations, leaving devastation in its wake.
As the kingdoms grapple with the chaos of battle, hope emerges in the form of a groundbreaking discovery: a new type of magic that has the potential to summon the extraordinary beasts of the realm. These creatures, once thought to be mere legends, may hold the key to humanity's survival against the overwhelming forces of the invaders. The stakes are high, and the quest for this new magic becomes a race against time, as alliances are forged and destinies are altered.
A Plague of Giants is not just an epic tale of war; it is a profound exploration of sacrifice, courage, and the bonds of friendship. With a diverse cast of characters that will resonate with readers, the story weaves together themes of loss and hope, making it a compelling read for fans of fantasy. The vivid world-building and intricate plot will keep readers engaged from the very first page.
