Review: An Inheritance Of Ash And Blood (Heirs Of War Trilogy #1) by Jamie Edmundson

December 29, 2023 by Alan Behan Leave a Comment

Rating: 8.5/10

Synopsis

Sorcery is dying out

No one misses it.

Feared and despised in equal measure, Sanc is only tolerated because he’s the son of the powerful Duke of Morbaine.

But Sanc is more important than he knows. When his life is threatened, he is forced to confront his true inheritance.

For a new god has arrived in Dalriya. Unstoppable, Ezenachi brings only conquest and slavery.

Sorcery is dying out, and now Dalriya needs a sorcerer more than ever.

Review

Absolutely amazing epic fantasy from a fantastic author Jamie Edmundson who’s series of books I’ve come to love over that last couple of years.

An Inheritance of Ash and Blood is the first book in a new series, Heirs of War and is set in the same the world Dalriya 20 years after The Weapon Takers Saga. Jamie Edmundson creates wonderfully well written characters that are absolutely fascinating and brilliant.

His worldbuilding and setting is excellent and his brilliant plots of political machines, murder, magic and is action packed with bloody war and mayhem.

Dalriya is like a ticking time bomb, with countries fighting and political maneuvering to see who becomes the new King or Emperor. They’re unaware of a new threat, for a new powful god has arrived in Dalriya bringing unstoppable magic, Ezenachi brings only conquest, slavery and destruction to those who get in his way.

Sorcery has been  dying out, and now Dalriya needs a sorcerer more than ever. When Duke of Morbaine youngest son Sanc discovers his magical abilities, he may be the only one left powerful enough to face their new foe and save their world.

A very enjoyable read from start to finish, if you haven’t checked out Jamie Edmundson’s series yet, I very highly recommend that you do. Now for book two A Crucible of Fire and Steel….😁💙🗡💥
