Seven Blades in Black

"Playful language, distinctly drawn characters, and a cavalcade of action."--SF Signal on The City Stained Red "An entertaining blend of classic adventure and inventive inspiration."--Juliet E. McKenna, author of The Thief's Gamble, on The City Stained Red "Excitement, vivacity, and sly wit... simply impossible not to enjoy."--RT Book Reviews (4.5 Stars) on The City Stained Red "Sykes has put the fun back in fantasy with fantastic creatures and a lovable crew of malcontents. The City Stained Red is like David Eddings meets Conan the Barbarian."--Brian McClellan on The City Stained Red "Sam Sykes continues to reinvent the fantasy adventuring party in a vibrant world of rude magic and good intentions gone bad. Bold and exuberant, never cynical, Sykes fights the good fight on behalf of rich fantasy that nonetheless refuses to apologize for being kick-ass fun."--Scott Lynch on The City Stained Red "Action fantasy with soul -- albeit a small, dirty, funny soul."--Brent Weeks on The City Stained Red "Insouciant, unrepentant and irrepressible adventures in a powder keg of a city. And that's just how the story begins."--Robin Hobb on The City Stained Red
