Overview

Step up to the gates. After years in the wilds, Lenk and his companions have come to the city that serves as the world's beating heart.

This brash, prolific wordsmith has a natural eloquence that grabbed my attention and refused to let go. Locus


This brash, prolific wordsmith has a natural eloquence that grabbed my attention and refused to let go. --Locus Excitement, vivacity, and sly wit... simply impossible not to enjoy. --RT Book Reviews (4.5 Stars) An entertaining blend of classic adventure and inventive inspiration. --Juliet E. McKenna, author of The Thief's Gamble Playful language, distinctly drawn characters, and a cavalcade of action. --SF Signal 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 Sykes has put the fun back in fantasy with fantastical creatures and a lovable crew of malcontents. The City Stained Red is like David Eddings meets Conan the Barbarian. --Brian McClellan, author of Promise of Blood Insouciant, unrepentant and irrepressible adventurers in a powder keg of a city. And that's just how the story begins. --Robin Hobb Action fantasy with soul-albeit a small, dirty, funny soul. --Brent Weeks


Monstrous, murderous, psychotic, deranged, possessed and insane - the only question is what our heroes hate more: the demons they're fighting or themselves. Stephen Deas on Tome of the Undergates


An entertaining blend of classic adventure and inventive inspiration. Juliet E. McKenna, author of The Thief's Gamble


This brash, prolific wordsmith has a natural eloquence that grabbed my attention and refused to let go. --Locus
