Dead God's Due
Summary
The end of the world approaches. The people don't believe. They don't even remember. Yazid Valerion is alone with the truth, but his warnings fall on deaf ears. His people are far more concerned about the wars of today and tomorrow than those of the past. Eons ago, the Dead God promised a world of ash, and the time of that prophecy is now at hand. His only hope is to cross the sea with his few followers in search of ancient enemies, the Meites, and pray he can sway them to his cause. But the Meites are no mere mortals; they are powerful sorcerers prone to outbursts of destructive terror. Even if he can find them, there's no guarantee they won't slaughter him and his men upon first sight. Perhaps there is no way to change the prophesy of a god. If not, then Yazid will die well. For a warrior knows, it is better to die fighting than trembling in fear of the final blow. The battle to save the world begins in Book 1 of a series perfect for fans of Marc Alan Edelheit, Bryce O'Connor, and Frank Miller's 300.

Mad God's Muse
Summary
The fate of the world rests on his shoulders. Will he crumble? Ahmed’s faith is strong, and so is his sword-arm, but as for details, those were for his fallen master. Now, he must somehow rise to the task of leading his men and, by Ilaweh's grace, thwart the Dead God's apocalyptic prophecy. But how can he command hardened veterans of war, men with much blood on their hands, when he has accomplished so little in his young life? If Ahmed can earn their respect, there might still be time to do as his master had hoped - ally with the sorcerers of Nihlos. They are dangerously unpredictable and capricious, perhaps even mad, but their power is undeniable. Ahmed will need that power. For he knows something even his master never guessed: their ultimate destination is the true heart of darkness. An ancient city of evil and death that none survive. Don't miss book 2 in this epic fantasy adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat listening.

War God's Will
Summary
Doomsday approaches. Unite or die. The Nihlosians and Xanthians have united to thwart the dead God’s prophecy, but as tempers flare or pride prickles, the alliance hangs by a thread. Meanwhile, the political situation in Nihlos grows worse every day. Two Council members have been assassinated, some are in open rebellion, and many blame the Empress herself for all of it. Amidst this chaos, Llaweh commands Ahmed to enter Nihlos alone and place himself at the mercy of the Meite sorcerers. But they too are torn apart by civil war and have fled their city. For now, they can’t help. Ahmed is on his own, leaving the dead God’s agents to move unopposed toward the festering city of evil, Torium, to carry out their master’s dark purpose. Has the end truly come, or will mankind endure? Find out in the breathtaking finale of the Sins of the Father Trilogy.
