But their glory days are long past; the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk - or a combination of the three. Then a former bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help: his daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy horde one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of impossible mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for. It's time to get the band back together for one last tour across the Wyld.LOOK OUT FOR BLOODY ROSE, THE SECOND BOOK IN THE BAND SERIES:'Bloody Rose solidifies what Kings of the Wyld proved.

All spiced with a sly sense of humour that had me smiling throughout.WonderfulA promising, fast-paced debut that balances classic quest fantasy with modern sensibilities and liberal doses of humor.Huzzah!Kings of the Wyld took me back to my Dungeons and Dragons days. It has well-crafted characters long past their best but still fighting,non-stop fantasy actionand welcome touches of humour.
