Just Arrived: “Seven Princes” by John R Fultz
I have been posting a fair amount on epic fantasy lately, both here and on SF Signal—and with a tagline of “an age of legends, an age of heroes, an age of war” the recently arrived Seven Princes, Books of the Shaper Volume 1, by John R Fultz promises to be epic fantasy in its most heroic form.
I should also add that I am hoping to feature an interview with John here as soon as I have the book read—so I had better pick up my current slow pace of reading and “get on with it!”
In the meantime, here’s what the backcover blurb says:
“Seven Princes. Seven Destinies, All Will Be Legend.
A sorcerer slaughters the King and his entire court in front of the disbelieving eyes of young Prince D’zan. From that moment, D’zan is driven by one thought — the need to regain his father’s stolen throne.
The lives of six foreign princes are tied to D’zan’s fate as he seeks allies for his cause. In a land where Men and Giants battle side by side against ancient monsters and chilling sorcery, only one thing is certain — war is coming. Kingdoms will clash and blood will run.”

There have also been a few reviews already that I know of, which I’ve linked to immediately below:

Ah, you’ve read it then: you are ahead of me! But I’m almost there …
The lovely Ruby was kind enough to send proofs.
A-ha, the excellent and esteemed Ruby, who is doing very good work for FSF titles, I feel … 🙂
