Review: Grave Empire (The Great Silence #1) by Richard Swan

April 3, 2025 by chilcottharry Leave a Comment

This is a brilliant beginning to a new horror fantasy trilogy that I really hope catches on, as I’d love to see more overt horror in the fantasy genre. Grave Empire rules, and you need to read it right now!

Synopsis: “You can never go home again,” the saying goes—but Hal, Athena, and Erin have to.

Book Review: Grave Empire (The Great Silence Book #1) by Richard Swan

February 4, 2025 by Andy Peloquin Leave a Comment

TL;DR Review: Bigger, more epic, and far more horror-drenched. A brilliant start to a tonally different but no-less-engaging new trilogy in one of my new favorite fantasy worlds. Synopsis: Blood once turned the wheels of empire. Now it is money. A new age of exploration and innovation has dawned, and the Empire of the Wolf stands to take […]
