Hawkwood and the Kings

PRAISE FOR THE MONARCHIES OF GOD 'Simply the best fantasy series I've read in years and years' - STEVEN ERIKSON, AUTHOR OF THE MALAZAN BOOK OF THE FALLEN 'Kearney paints the gore, the sex, and the lust for power in vivid colour' - SFX THE WESTERN WORLD IS BURNING... For Richard Hawkwood and his crew, a desperate venture to carry refugees to the uncharted land across the Great Western Ocean offers the only chance of escape from the Inceptines' pyres. In the East, Lofantyr, Abeleyn and Mark - three of the five Ramusian Kings - have defied the cruel pontiff's purge and must fight to hold their thrones through excommunication, intrigue and civil war. In the quiet monastery city of Charibon, two humble monks make a discovery that will change the whole world. Aekir, the Holy City, has fallen and all now seems lost, but even on the eve of destruction the Faithful still war amongst themselves... Hawkwood and the Kings collects Hawkwood's Voyage and The Heretic Kings, the first two books in Paul Kearney's spectacular The Monarchies of God cycle.
