WINNER OF THE 2018 BOOKNEST FANTASY AWARD FOR BEST TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED NOVEL
Bloody Rose follows the thrilling journey of Tam Hashford, a young woman bored of her mundane life working at a pub in a sleepy town. Tam dreams of adventure, inspired by the bards’ tales of heroic exploits and legendary quests. When the infamous mercenary band, Fable, led by none other than the legendary Bloody Rose, arrives in town, Tam seizes the opportunity to join them as their bard. What begins as a pursuit of excitement quickly turns into a high-stakes adventure that promises either glory or death.
Nicholas Eames crafts a world where mercenary bands are the rock stars of a fantasy realm, and their adventures are sung in ballads across the land. With a deft hand, Eames fills the narrative with rich characters, heart-pounding action, and a blend of humour and emotion that makes Bloody Rose a gripping read from start to finish.
The novel solidifies what Kings of the Wyld proved, showcasing Eames' unique voice and narrative style. Sam Sykes praises, 'Eames writes like a hurricane and has a voice like no one else in this genre.'
IT'S TIME TO TAKE A WALK ON THE WYLD SIDE

About the Author
Nicholas Eames was born to parents of infinite patience and unstinting support in Wingham, Ontario. Though he attended college for theatre arts, he gave up acting to pursue the infinitely more attainable profession of 'epic fantasy novelist'. Kings of the Wyld is his first novel. Nicholas loves black coffee, neat whiskey, the month of October and video games. He currently lives in Ontario, Canada, and is probably writing at this very moment.
