'A fantastic read, a rollicking, page-turning, edge-of-your-seat road-trip of a book' - John Gwynne Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best - the meanest, dirtiest, most feared and admired crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld. But their glory days are long past; the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk - or a combination of the three. Then a former bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help: his daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy horde one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of impossible mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for. It's time to get the band back together for one last tour across the Wyld. ***WINNER OF THE 2018 GEMMELL AWARD FOR BEST DEBUT*** ***WINNER OF FANTASY FACTION'S BEST FANTASY BOOK OF 2017 AWARD*** ***WINNER OF REDDIT FANTASY'S BEST DEBUT NOVEL OF 2017 AWARD*** LOOK OUT FOR BLOODY ROSE, THE SECOND BOOK IN THE BAND SERIES

Sláva nikdy nezestárne. Clay Cooper a jeho proslulá skupina kdysi bývali ti nejlepší z nejlepších — nejobávanější žoldnéři na této straně Heartwyldu. Ale dny jejich slávy už dávno pominuly. Každý z nich si šel svou cestou. Zestárli, ztloustli, opíjeli se, nebo všechno současně. Znenadání se však u Clayových dveří objeví jeho přítel a bývalý parťák Gabriel s prosbou o pomoc — aby se společně vydali na misi, ke které by se upsali jen ti nejstatečnější, nebo naopak ti nejhloupější. Gabrielova dcera je uvězněna ve městě vzdáleném přes půl světa a obléhaném Heartwyldskou hordou. Nastal čas znovu svolat skupinu.

A band of fabled mercenaries tour a wild fantasy landscape, battling monsters in arenas in front of thousands of adoring fans. But, a secret and dangerous gig ushers them to the frozen north, and the band is never one to waste a shot at glory. Live fast, die young. Tam Hashford is tired of working at her local pub, slinging drinks for world-famous mercenaries and listening to the bards sing of adventure and glory in the world beyond her sleepy hometown. When the biggest mercenary band of all, led by the infamous Bloody Rose, rolls into town, Tam jumps at the chance to sign on as their bard. It's adventure she wants - and adventure she gets as the crew embark on a quest that will end in one of two ways: glory or death. It's time to take a walk on the wyld side. "Humorous twists and pulse-ratcheting action abound in Bloody Rose, but its Eames' knack for heart-wrenching poignancy that makes his warm, wonderful fantasy so harmonious." - NPR For more from Nicholas Eames, check out: Kings of the Wyld
