RJ Hanson has two books on Amazon ranked #1 in epic fantasy and dark fantasy, Roland's Path and Fires that Forge. RJ began developing the epic sword and sorcery saga, Bloodlines Reforged, in 1996.

Huge Deal!

I apologize for the mixup, but I told a number of you the download of Lords of Order & Chaos would be available for free yesterday. Thanks to Amazon, that deal was pushed back to today. Thus, in an attempt to make amends, I’m also making Heirs of Vanity available for free as well. That’s right, the first SIX books in the saga free for today and tomorrow!
