It was such a joy writing this book. I was planning this adventure for years and it cane out beautifully. All the stuff that made Demon Cycle great but totally different too. One of the best books I’ve ever written.

Bryan Waters Love your books Sir, but I had to unfollow you. Whoever updates your Goodreads profile, is a little over eager. Whenever I log on, I am spammed by dozens of posts. Its just too much.


RenDiteration I just finished 'The Skull Throne'. So effin' good. Thanks for existing! Dying for the next one. =D

Felix The series is awesome. There is not to many Epic/Dark adult fantasies out there. The Painted/Warded man is one of my all time favorites.It feels like 1 part LIl'Abner 1 part crucible shake not stir-then add demons for taste.
