No Kings No Gods No Mercy - Book Two: Gods Shall Fall

Already the Red Prophet has one shard of the Dark Gem in his grasp and schemes to fool his enemies into retrieving the remaining ones for him. The perilous quests for the crystals bring together groups of characters who would not normally side together and won’t find their temporary alliance always palatable. In the company of nomadic warriors, courageous dwarfs, stage performers, a she-pirate captain, mages and religious fanatics, Martemio is drawn into a deadly race against Gaelyon’s agents.

To buy sufficient time for the questing parties to succeed, Martemio will have to rely upon Alexandre, a foe turned into ally and the foremost general of their generation. It is therefore unfortunate that both men fall in love with the same woman since there’s no room for distraction when confronted with the Red Prophet’s marauding forces led by Karsinaar, a wild mountain man moulded by Gaelyon into a merciless tool of destruction.

Eagerly assisted by Leweth and commanding the loyalty of five dragons, Gaelyon feels confident about the success of his carefully crafted plans. However, demonic entities from the Netherworld harbingers of Chaos are also on the hunt for the shards for their own ends, so that the outcome of all quests, and ultimately the fate of the Universe, hangs in the balance.
As the story unfolds the characters’ relationships spin into intricate webs of love, hate and friendship, or, in Leweth’s and Karsinaar’s case, into a dangerous power game fuelled by pride and lust.

When all parties converge on Westron, the capital of Argys, the stage is set for a reckoning on the battlefield where men and demons wrestle for control of the Unmaker’s source of power.

Gods Shall Fall is the second volume of No Kings No Gods No Mercy, an original Fantasy trilogy that blends a complex storyline, adult themes, attention to character development, strong female leads, epic battle scenes and quirk twists of humour. It is an intelligent, fast-paced read for all who enjoy a foray into another world without leaving their brains behind.
