"Black Cross is a novel where the author's enthusiasm shines out on every page."
MARK LAWRENCE, International Bestselling Author.

**FIVE STARS**
"A rousing, gritty adventure."
RICHARD A. KNAAK, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of The Legend of Huma.

Arcane magic can be a ruinous power, despite admirable intentions.

A mysterious scroll finds its way into Lord Severun’s hands, enabling him to release a dangerous experiment upon Wesson. With Sergeant Falchion unable to forgive himself for aiding the wizard, and desperate factions taking advantage of the devastating aftermath, Falchion embarks on an arduous quest alongside friends and strangers alike. However, even if their attempt to seek aid is successful and the city is saved, they risk revealing a secret that threatens much more than Wesson alone.

From a fantasy world not too dissimilar to our own dark and bloody histories, the beginning of an epic tale is told. Incredible magic is unleashed, allies become enemies; unlikely friendships are forged, and a foul plot is discovered that will shatter the long lasting peace of Altoln and her allies, plunging them into a gritty, brutal conflict that falls far from the fluffy fairytales of old.

Industry Reviews

"The magic system is fascinating and very well crafted. This is quite an epic saga, and surprisingly political. There are factions, and back biting, plenty of twists and turns, violence and bloodshed - everything epic fantasy fans enjoy."

- bookwormblues.net

"Ashman's imagination boggles the mind."

- Dyrk Ashton, Author of Paternus

"The Black Powder Wars will be a series that's tailor-made for fans of fantasy in the vein of Bernard Cornwell, Paul Kearney & J. V. Jones."
