The first book in a new epic fantasy series from the author of the Infernal Battalion series.
Django Wexler is the author of the Shadow Campaigns novels. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh with degrees in creative writing and computer science, and worked for the university in artificial intelligence research. He is also the author of a middle-grade fantasy novels, The Forbidden Library, The Mad Apprentice, and The Palace of Glass.
Magic, mutants, and mayhem abound in Django Wexler's Ashes of the
Sun, but there's also plenty of brain food to be had in this tale
of a post-catastrophe world suffering under the yoke of unbending
authoritarian rule. A fast-paced and highly entertaining ride
through a compelling and original world
*Anthony Ryan, NYT bestselling author of Blood Song*
Reminiscent of Final Fantasy, Masters of the Universe, and
Moorcock's The Jewel in the Skull, Ashes of the Sun is a
science-fantasy adventure brimming with everything that is weird
and wonderful about a world where magic and technology have fused
in the fires of a fallen civilization
*Jonathan French, author of The Grey Bastards*
Ashes of the Sun shows that Wexler is a master of high fantasy. His
plotting and this post-apocalyptic setting will warp your mind!
*SM Stirling, NYT bestselling author*
Gorgeous writing, powerfully drawn characters, and an exciting
storyline!
*KD Edwards, author of The Last Sun and The Hanged Man*
Exciting. Immersive. Epic. A perfect page turner and a phenomenal
start to a new series
*Peter Clines, author of The Fold and Ex-Heroes*
A high-octane, dystopian fantasy thrill-ride... Scintillating...
Unpredictable and shocking too. Highly recommended'
*Grimdark Magazine*
Wexler's best work yet... Ashes of the Sun has scale and pace, and
tension and batshit cool scenery, and I enjoyed it a hell of
lot'
*Tor.com*
Immersive and wondrous... Highly, highly recommended. It will take
a great deal for any fantasy novel in 2020 to knock Ashes of the
Sun off my top fantasy spot for the year'
*SFF World*
Wexler demonstrates a talent for worldbuilding in the impressive
post-apocalyptic fantasy that launches his Burningblade and
Silvereye trilogy
*Publishers Weekly.*
Immensely enjoyable, this high fantasy novel contains characters
and a storyline to die for... Not only is this a fast-paced
beautifully diverse read, I found the humour perfectly timed...
Ashes of the Sun has it all, and comes with the higher than highly
recommended tag'
*LoveReading.*
There are monsters to fight and relics from a now-vanished, more
advanced civilisation, which makes for some colourful
worldbuilding... The prose and pacing are strong, bolstered by
impressively vivid action scenes. Wexler gradually raises the
stakes'
*SFX Magazine*
An action-filled book with plenty of daring escapes and
breathtaking duels between competing forces of magic... Ashes of
the Sun is a fun-filled, exiting, fast-paced fantasy romp that
Django Wexler executes with impressive skill and precision'
*Zealot Script*
