abandoning his responsibilities as a general, a governor, and a
son. Now he will live out his days as a grifter, rootless, and
alone. But when his mother is brutally murdered, Demir must return

GUNPOWDER AND BULLETS WILL DETERMINE THE VICTOR.
When invasion looms... Tamas's invasion of Kez ends in disaster
when a Kez counter-offensive leaves him cut off behind enemy lines
with only a fraction of his army, no supplies, and no hope of
reinforcements. Drastically outnumbered and pursued by the enemy's
best, he must lead his men on a reckless march through northern Kez
to safety, and back over the mountains so that he can defend his
country from an angry god, Kresimir.
But the threats are closer to home...In Adro, Inspector Adamat
wants only to rescue his wife. To do so he must track down and
confront the evil Lord Vetas. He has questions for Vetas concerning
his enigmatic master, but the answers will lead Adamat on a darker
journey.
Who will lead the charge?Tamas's generals bicker among themselves,
the brigades lose ground every day beneath the Kez onslaught, and
Kresimir wants the head of the man who shot him in the eye. With
Tamas and his powder cabal presumed dead, Taniel Two-shot finds
himself as the last line of defense against Kresimir's advancing
army.
In a rich, distinctive world that mixes magic with technology, who
could stand against mages that control gunpowder and bullets? THE
CRIMSON CAMPAIGN is the epic sequel to Brian McClellan's "Promise
of Blood."

The Age of Kings is dead . . . and I have killed it.
It's a bloody business overthrowing a king...
Field Marshal Tamas' coup against his king sent corrupt aristocrats
to the guillotine and brought bread to the starving. But it also
provoked war with the Nine Nations, internal attacks by royalist
fanatics, and the greedy to scramble for money and power by Tamas's
supposed allies: the Church, workers unions, and mercenary
forces.
It's up to a few...
Stretched to his limit, Tamas is relying heavily on his few
remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a
brilliant marksman who also happens to be his estranged son, and
Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty is being tested by
blackmail.
But when gods are involved...
Now, as attacks batter them from within and without, the credulous
are whispering about omens of death and destruction. Just old
peasant legends about the gods waking to walk the earth. No modern
educated man believes that sort of thing. But they should...
In a rich, distinctive world that mixes magic with technology, who
could stand against mages that control gunpowder and bullets?
PROMISE OF BLOOD is the start of a new epic fantasy series from
Brian McClellan.

The war has been going on since long before I was born. Teado is a
Changer, a shape-shifting military asset trained to win wars. His
platoon has been stationed in the Bavares high plains for years,
stranded. As they ration supplies and scan the airwaves for news,
any news, their numbers dwindle. He's not sure how much time they
have left. Desperate and starving, armed with aging, faulting
equipment, the team jumps at the chance for a risky resupply
mission, even if it means not all of them might come. What they
discover could change the course of the war.
