A stand-alone epic fantasy adventure featuring a band of legendary mercenaries set in the world of Kings of the Wyld from author Nicholas Eames, who has been hailed as "the voice of modern fantasy" by Michael R. Fletcher.

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 rolls into town, led by the infamous Bloody Rose, 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.

Critic reviews

"I was a big fan of Kings of the Wyld, but I think Bloody Rose has actually topped it. Eames once again hits the perfect balance of humor and heart, irreverent references and real emotion. The characters are great, the adventure is epic, and he's slowly deepening the worldbuilding in a way that has me eager for more." (Django Wexler, author of The Thousand Names)

"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)

loved it, characters were easy to invest myself in, and I happy to see a sequel that more than lived up to its predecessor.

Perfect blend of drama and humor. Nicholas writes unique characters, engaged pacing and creative storytelling. The next D&D character I roll up is definitely going to be a wereskunk.

So much fun!

Not as funny as Kings of the Wyld, but I loved the story and couldn't stop listening to this.

A more serious and amazing story

I have no issues with this story. It was well done. It was entertaining. It’s in the same world as the first book. But different people with overlap of some characters. It’s fine.

I enjoyed as much as the first

While 'Bloody Rose' is missing the fantastical allure of the first book with the novelty of a new universe. As well as having a weaker cast of main characters. It still comes off as a charming story following once again a character who is decidedly not the main character. Global issues brought to bear in this book also serve the narrative nicely, and makes me look forward to how the 3rd book will expand on it.

Katherine Fenton's narration was solid all around. Although the diverse cast in terms of gender worked against her in a way it did not for the first narrator as she bears the same difficultycreating distinct voices for the opposite gender.

A good follow-up to a legendary book.

I like the snappy dialogue among the charters. I really enjoy the big action scenes and the love story’s.

Blood And Guts.i like. Te dialogue

The MC of Kings of the Wyld was old, tiered, and world weary. This gave it a more cynical tone. Bloody Rose is narrated by a new character, Tam. She is young, energetic, and only getting started.

This makes for an interesting perspective that contrast with the first book.

I liked this story, the characters, and its connections to Kings of the Wyld. I like the strongly written female characters (MC included).
