Hair of the Dog
Geth's struggle to save his friends continues in the action-packed sequel to DOG OF WAR.
Nothing is decided.
Umbel is enveloped in war. Geth languishes in prison. And the king's enemies multiply, sharpening their knives in the shadows.
But before Geth can help his friends, he must first emerge from the darkest hole in all the Sworn Realms.
He won't find things in good shape when he does. King Hadean is trapped under siege while Phelan rots in a cell. Hostile tribesmen have overrun the north. Treacherous allies hold the south. With a deadly foreign assassin somewhere in their midst, the future has never looked more bleak.
Geth needs allies.
Will a savage chieftess offer her sword? Can the magicks of the enemy's own seer turn the tide? Geth will take any friends he can get, marching them toward a battle against impossible odds. His only option is win the war or die trying. It always was.
The action never stops in HAIR OF THE DOG as Geth struggles against tribesmen, traitors, foreign assassins and age-old sorcery. Get your copy and continue the adventure!
"Readers of Joe Abercrombie and Brandon Sanderson will love this series for the unrelenting fight scenes and gallows humor."
"Gritty, masterful... Dean Kastle is the fresh new voice we've been waiting for in fantasy."

You will find action on every page in this compelling book that will have you racing through the story. The characters, especially the protagonist Geth, are well described and believable as are the vividly depicted scenarios that you march through alongside Geth in his struggles to save his friends and to right wrongs. Magic is real in this well-imagined world, but plays only a minor role compared to that of courage, skill at arms, and shrewdness. Geth faces determined foes and outright treachery in places ranging from the darkest prison to well-lit palaces, and needs every bit of help he can get from his friends as he strives to keep them safe and navigate through shifting alliances. A great read that won’t let you set it aside until you race to the end!

"But anger and vengeance was all Geth had ever been good at."
"It was always the anger, Geth mused, the vengeance that ruined things." But in spite of all that Geth is driven to help the king. The odds are incredible, even worse there is always someone who wants to put him in prison. But when you have friend - and he does ...
This is non-stop, brutal action. If you have a weak stomach, this is not for you. But if you like your hero bold and one who will stop and nothing, this is your book. There are some very interesting tactical decisions taken by Geth and the rest of the warriors. What will come next is always uncertain. It is capable of going either way.
