A band of fabled mercenaries tour a wild fantasy landscape, battling monsters in arenas in front of thousands of adoring fans. But, a secret and dangerous gig ushers them to the frozen north, and the band is never one to waste a shot at glory.

Live fast, die young.

Tam Hashford is tired of working at her local pub, slinging drinks for world-famous mercenaries and listening to the bards sing of adventure and glory in the world beyond her sleepy hometown.

When the biggest mercenary band of all, led by the infamous Bloody Rose, rolls into town, Tam jumps at the chance to sign on as their bard. It's adventure she wants -- and adventure she gets as the crew embark on a quest that will end in one of two ways: glory or death.

It's time to take a walk on the wyld side.

"Humorous twists and pulse-ratcheting action abound in Bloody Rose, but its Eames' knack for heart-wrenching poignancy that makes his warm, wonderful fantasy so harmonious." -- NPR

Industry Reviews
"Bloody Rose solidifies what Kings of the Wyld proved. Eames writes like a hurricane and has a voice like no one else in this genre."--Sam Sykes "An absolutely outstanding debut . . . [It has] all the heart and passion that great fantasy can bring in the hands of a master."--Myke Cole on Kings of the Wyld "A fantastic epic fantasy! Just the right smidgen of tongue-in-cheek to work wonderfully. Go read."--Django Wexler on Kings of the Wyld "George R. R. Martin meets Terry Pratchett."--Buzzfeed Books on Kings of the Wyld "Nicholas Eames is the voice of modern fantasy."--Michael R. Fletcher on Kings of the Wyld "Fantastic, funny, ferocious. Hugely recommended. Read it now."--Sam Sykes on Kings of the Wyld "Eames' debut fantasy tale has it all....Readers will not be able to put this book down."--Booklist (starred review) on Kings of the Wyld "Fantastic...Eames is an author that has the potential to set genre trends with this book. This book is a breath of fresh air."--Book Worm Blues on Kings of the Wyld "Eames strikes the same balance as Pratchett at his best....Just a super read, a really fresh book, one to savour from start to finish."--Blue Book Balloon on Kings of the Wyld "Will be one of THE books of 2017. Brilliant, innovative, immersive and just pure fun."--The Book Plank on Kings of the Wyld "A great deal of fun.... I only have two questions that remain unanswered - (1) Where do I get my Saga tour t-shirt? (2) When does the second book come out?"--The Eloquent Page on Kings of the Wyld "Escapism of my favorite type - noble quests, edge-of-the-seat action, and well-rounded, likeable characters that carve out their own unique definition of "family." If you like your fantasy gritty and your humor dark, then this is the next book for you."--Forbidden Planet on Kings of the Wyld "An outstanding debut which will make you laugh and cry and hold your breath. This is a book that has it all."--K. J. Parker on Kings of the Wyld "A promising, fast-paced debut that balances classic quest fantasy with modern sensibilities and liberal doses of humor. Huzzah!"--Alex Marshall on Kings of the Wyld "Kings of the Wyld took me back to my Dungeons and Dragons days. It has well-crafted characters long past their best but still fighting, non-stop fantasy action and welcome touches of humor. Great reading!"--Ian Irvine on Kings of the Wyld "Nicholas Eames brings brazen fun and a rock & roll sensibility to the fantasy genre."--Sebastien de Castell on Kings of the Wyld "Absolutely awesome. If the Beatles held a concert tomorrow (with all the necromancy required for that to happen), it still wouldn't be as good a 'getting the band back together' story as this. Full of heroes, humor, and heart."--Jon Hollins on Kings of the Wyld p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Calibri; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} "Fantastic, funny, ferocious. Hugely recommended. Read it now."--Sam Sykes on Kings of the Wyld "Brilliant debut novel... Eames has cranked the thrills of epic fantasy up to 11... Moreover, the plot is emotionally rewarding, original, and hilarious. Eames clearly set out to write something fun to read, and he has succeeded spectacularly."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Kings of the Wyld "A comedy, an adventure tale, a consideration on growing older, and a sendup of fantasy conventions, all at the same time. It also has heart. In short: it rocks....I finished this book in one night. If I could, I'd see the tour, and buy the t-shirt. Instead, I'll have to content myself with waiting for the sequel, and reading it again."--B&N SF & Fantasy Blog on Kings of the Wyld "Joe Abercrombie meets Terry Pratchett, and that is not praise I would give lightly."--Fantasy Review Barn on Kings of the Wyld "A fantastic read, a rollicking, page-turning, edge-of-your-seat road-trip of a book. Great characters, loveable rogues that I genuinely cared about and all manner of fantastical monsters. All spiced with a sly sense of humour that had me smiling throughout. Wonderful."--John Gwynne on Kings of the Wyld
