By day Eric Lewis is a PhD research chemist weathering the
latest rounds of mergers and layoffs and still trying to remember
how to be a person again long after surviving grad school. In
addition to subjecting his writing to one rejection after another,
he can be found gathering to himself as many different sharp and
pointies as possible and searching for the perfect hiking trail,
archery range of single malt Scotch. Don’t ask where, because he’s
never lived anywhere for longer than five years.
His short fiction has been published in Nature, Electric Spec,
Allegory, Bards and Sages Quarterly, the anthologies Into Darkness
Peering, Best Indie Speculative Fiction Vol. 1 and Crash Code, as
well as other venues detailed at ericlewis.ink. THE HERON KINGS is
his first novel.
“A promising debut from Eric Lewis. The Heron Kings is full of
consistent characters that are inspiring and tough. Gruesome at
times, this shows the true savagery of war and has enough action
and intrigue to keep you on your toes.”
*GrimDark Magazine*
“Lewis’s excellent debut introduces a band of well-drawn outlaws
who don’t care who wins the civil war that’s ravaging their land,
just so long as it ends [...] The central trio are marvelously
realized, and their developments amid the ongoing horrors are
effortlessly convincing. Readers who love medieval-esque fantasy
will delight in this rousing tale of rebellion.”
*Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)*
“Fast-paced and gripping, The Heron Kings is riveting stuff.”
*British Fantasy Society*
“There’s a Robin Hood feel to Lewis’ debut, as average citizens
rise up against the warmongering upper class with justified anger
[...] Readers will root for the [characters].”
*ALA Booklist*
“If you like war-time fiction and epic fantasies, you’ll love this
book. Eric Lewis’s writing reminds me of the writing of Brandon
Sanderson — with vernacular that’s uncomplicated yet full of
emotion and depth — and that’s some of the highest praise I can
give a fantasy novel.”
*Backshelf Books*
“The Heron Kings is a story of war and revenge, vigilante justice
and self-discovery. The characters are fascinating and the world
building is really good.”
*FanFiAddict*
“A well paced tale with great characters, lots of scheming,
violence, blood and gore in a clever plot that makes this a
gripping read from start to finish.”
*The Bookwormery*
