The Blasted Lands by James A. Moore: June 24, 2014 (Angry Robot)
James A. Moore's Seven Forges was a pretty big surprise for me last year. I probably went through the first three-quarters without my heart being completely into it, and then BOOM! that ending. The last 50-60 pages or so pretty much ignited everything else that came before in a wildfire of explosion, so you bet I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. The Blasted Lands is the sequel, and wowzas just look at that cover.
"The Empire of Fellein
is in mourning. The Emperor is dead, and the armies of the empire have
grown soft. Merros Dulver, their newly-appointed – and somewhat
reluctant – commander, has been tasked with preparing them to fight the
most savage enemy the world has yet seen.
Meanwhile, a perpetual storm ravages the Blasted Lands, and a new threat is about to arise – the Broken are coming, and with them only Death."
