Merry Christmas!

And what better way to celebrate Frosty, Rudolph, jolly ol’ Saint Nicholas, and the birth of baby Jesus… than with a story about a brash but well-intentioned teenage rogue who has an unfortunate tendency of cutting down anyone in his path?

Misaligned as it may be with this magical season of charity and kindness, the Warder trilogy officially concludes with today’s release of The Sun

Quotes by Eldon Thompson (?)

“Men fought and died, each with his own reasons, and only the gods, if gods there were, might be able to sort through the carnage. Right and wrong were shifting targets, relying heavily on where one stood. The only constant a man could truly hope to find, the only integrity, was that which he created for himself by matching deeds to words—be they kind, cruel, or something in between.”
― Eldon Thompson, The Ukinhan Wilds
