Steel, Blood & Fire

Experience the brutal reality of a world where heroes are myths and monsters are human.

Tarmun Vykers is a legend—but not the kind you want to meet. Known as The Reaper, he was once the most feared warrior in the world. Now, he’s a man with a shattered memory and a mountain of regrets. But when a genocidal power known as The-End-of-All-Things begins its scorched-earth march across the continent, the world doesn't need a saint. It needs a killer.

In this gritty epic fantasy, Batchelder weaves a tale of steel, blood, and fire that defies the tropes of "noble-bright" fiction. Vykers must assemble a band of broken misfits, cynical mercenaries, and treacherous mages to stand against an unstoppable tide of sorcery.

Why fans of dark fantasy are obsessed with the Immortal Treachery series:

• The Ultimate Anti-Hero: Follow Tarmun Vykers, a protagonist who is as lethal as he is morally complex.
• Grimdark Realism: A world where actions have consequences, and no one is safe from the blade.
• Epic Scale, Intimate Violence: From massive military campaigns to bone-crunching duels, the combat is visceral and relentless.
• For Fans Of: Joe Abercrombie’s First Law, Glen Cook’s The Black Company, and the unapologetic grit of Steven Erikson.

Winner of acclaim for its "hard-boiled" approach to magic and warfare, Steel, Blood & Fire is a must-read for anyone seeking a gripping adult fantasy saga.
