All four volumes of the extraordinary, and vivid Seven Forges series: epic fantasy to devastate your world. The whole brutal saga of Seven Forges, The Blasted Lands, City of Wonders and The Silent Army.
The people of Fellein have lived with legends for many centuries. To their far north, the Blasted Lands, a legacy of an ancient time of cataclysm, are vast, desolate and impassable, but that doesn’t stop the occasional expedition into their fringes in search of any trace of the ancients who once lived there… and oft-rumoured riches.
Warriors from the hard-pressed land of Fellein go in search of the mythical people of the Blasted Lands – and are startled not only to find them, but that they were expected.
The emperor of Fellein is dead, and the newly-appointed commander may be the only one capable of keeping Fellein from annihilation, as former allies become a deadly threat. But out in the Blasted Lands, a more terrifying enemy emerges.
Open war rages between the kingdom of Fellein and the Sa’ba Taalor. Refugees seek safety and the leaders on both sides pursue their agendas while ancient forces take notice of the conflict and stir from their slumber.
The City of Wonders has been saved by nearly miraculous forces and the Silent Army is risen, ready to defend the Fellein Empire and Empress Nachia at any cost from The Great Wave of the Sa’ba Taalor.

It has been a long, long time since I've been so immersed with a book, that my kindle went everywhere with me and I read at every interval I could.
That they are violent, is an understatement. A character I liked in the beginning, I hated in the end. A character I was rather 'meh' at the beginning, my heart broke for by the last book. It was interesting and eye-opening to watch a teenager come full circle and for a ruthless Sa'ab Taalor to open his eyes, and do something the Sa'ab Taalor Gods never intended - to think for himself.
Seeing there are 2 other books within the series and a 5th as well, I think I'll go hunt them up. Now.
my only complaint is the formatting of the books. It would be helpful if there were some sort of divider to show when a scene within a chapter had changed
