THE ANCIENT KINGDOM OF ALCEDON, THE SUN-BLESSED REALM WHICH HAS KNOWN ONLY PEACE FOR GENERATIONS, NOW BESET BY BLOODY REBELLION SPARKED BY THE EMERGENCE OF AN ANCIENT EVIL…

Into this troubled land comes Guyime, legendary ravager king of the north made immortal by the demonic sword he carries. Leading his band of sword bearers, Guyime must prevent the arch-demon Kalthraxis claiming the Warlord’s Tulwar, the last of the seven demon cursed blades. To do so he is forced to ally himself with the King of Alcedon and lead his army onto the dreaded Road of Storms, to fight a war that may cost all their lives and seal the fate of the world…

From Publishers Weekly:

“Ryan ups the ante in his sixth Seven Swords fantasy, delivering on the major twist that concluded Across the Sorrow Sea... Ryan, whose series runs counter to current trends by ladling out installments in non-doorstopper size, makes this brief foray a nail-biter. Fans will be eager to see what happens next.”
