The Ukinhan Wilds

by Eldon Thompson

Overview

"Adrenaline-charged fantasy adventure..." -- Publishers Weekly

Assassin. Rogue. Demon's bane. Dragon-slayer. Kylac Kronus has been called many names, and earned every one of them. Months shy of his seventeenth spring, he is already the deadliest man alive. Nothing--be it man or beast--has been able to prove otherwise.

Uncomfortable with his newfound fame following the War of the Demon Queen, Kylac seeks fresh adventure overseas, recruited by a band of outlanders under royal commission to escort a kidnapped princess back to her father, King Kendarrion, ruler of the Sundered Isle. They warn him that, to do so, he will brave tempest seas full of raging leviathans while seeking to evade those responsible for the princess's abduction--including a terrifying mutant left over from the days of the Mage Wars.

Kylac readily agrees.

But when the mutant proves as cunning as it is savage, the perilous voyage gives way to an even deadlier trek across a poisoned wilderness once home to the ancient Gorrethrehn--"Breeders"--a sect of magi known for their foul creation practices. Stalked by bestial denizens, treacherous companions, and horrors that his blades cannot touch, Kylac finds himself embattled as never before. For the mutant is relentless in its hunt, the island's terrors do not rest, and not even the deadliest man alive can hope to emerge unscathed.

"A blood-soaked, no-holds-barred battle for survival that keeps its characters and readers guessing..." -- BookLife Reviews
