A vast empire's greatest foe. A conquered people's last hope. His name is Hanuvar, and he will set his people free! When the Dervan Empire came for the city of Volanus its people fought block by block, house by house until most of them fell with sword in hand. Only a thousand or so survived to be led away in chains. The empire looted the city's treasures, set fire to its temples, and sowed its fields with salt. Their victory was complete apart from one small detail: the greatest Volani general had escaped alive. And now, alone against the might of a vast empire, Hanuvar has only an aging sword arm, a lifetime of wisdom, and the greatest military mind in the world, bent upon a single goal. No matter where his people have been taken, from the furthest outpost of the empire to its rotten heart, he will find them. Every last one of them. And he will set them free. Praise for Lord of a Shattered Land: "This wonderful work put me in mind of the stories I read when I was editing Baen's Robert E. Howard library" --David Drake, best-selling author of the Hammer's Slammers series, Redliners, Vettius and His Friends, and the RCN series. "Howard Andrew Jones is the leading Sword & Sorcery author of the 21st century . . . His Lord of A Shattered Land is his best work yet, a heroic fantasy retelling of one of the great tales of antiquity, the fall of Carthage and its legendary general Hannibal . . . It's a magnificent achievement, destined to become a modern classic." --John O'Neill, World Fantasy Award-winning publisher of Black Gate "The book is a riveting portrait of a hero trying to keep his civilization alive in the wake of a devastating military defeat; it's a series of ripping yarns that collectively add up to a greater story with a deeper impact than any of its parts; it's another triumph for Howard Andrew Jones, premier wielder of the new edge in sword-and-sorcery." --James Enge, World Fantasy Award-nominated author of Blood of Ambrose Praise for The City of Marble and Blood: "Not since DON QUIXOTE, encountered in Spanish Lit, have I come across a more engaging episodic novel. Every character is relatable, including the worst. I loved this book." --Glen Cook, best-selling author of The Black Company series Praise for Howard Andrew Jones: "Howard Jones writes not-to-be-missed epic fantasy with immersive world building and the highest stakes for the characters, fighting for personal survival and the survival of their world." --Martha Wells, Hugo, Nebula and Locus
