Unending Autumn
A necromancer who will sacrifice anything, and anyone, to see her ends met.
Undead rising up to protect the living, willingly or not.
A royal family doing what must be done to save the land even as their kingdom falls to ruin.
Bastion is the crown prince of the kingdom Van'Li-on, a dutiful soldier, master blacksmith, and perpetual shirker of responsibilities. His younger brother Van, more scholar than soldier, spends his days studying to be the kingdom's next great mage. The brothers live a picturesque life in a kingdom that has known peace for decades.
Yet below the shiny veneer, a rot slowly spreads across the land. Bastion is tasked with investigating reports of villagers, both alive and recently buried, disappearing in the night. Unknowingly, his duty leads him into a trap set by someone close to him, and he finds himself, too, counted among the missing. When Bastion fails to return home, Van sets off on a journey across the Southern Continent to find and rescue his brother, amassing a motley crew of allies along the way.
Unfortunately, Bastion is no longer among the living as he's been captured, killed, and reanimated by a centuries old Necromancer. Though her methods vile, her goal is one of worldly salvation and Bastion eventually embraces his role as a the most powerful incarnation in her undead army. Their master/servant relationship mutates into something much more as the growing scope of danger facing the world forces them both to compromise their positions. A foe, long thought defeated has returned en masse and the undead alone can stifle their assault.
Brothers find themselves at odds upon their eventual Van unable to accept what his brother has become, and Bastion unable, and in truth unwilling, to change his fate. And so, Van and his ever growing band of followers once again find themselves questing for answers across the land of the living. Until those answers are found, Bastion and his undead wield the power of death itself to face the looming threat head on, providing a shield for the world that may shatter a million times but can never be destroyed.

Simply the best book I've read this year!
Unending Autumn is a fast-paced slow burn that just tears your heart to shreds. The writer blends perfect description with a great plot to produce a story that will grip you from the start. The characters were so well developed and the detailed, crisp descriptions brought the world to life in a spectacularly amazing way. I especially loved the battle scenes. It felt like I was there with the characters, experiencing every tear, every blood splatter, every torn ligament. The prose was fantastic, and I was simply unable to put it down. I can’t wait for the second book.

This book is incredible. Multiple stories crossing paths throughout the book making it difficult to put down. The story itself is fascinating, but the way the story is told is even better. Unending Autumn is now one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read and I am beyond excited for the next books to come out.
