unfortunately he may be an amazon exclusive author but i read this not too long ago-
Azieran: Coveting Bloodshed by Christopher Heath
"Baron Von Draukenhaus has been summoned from a century long, self-imposed exile to lead a band of expendable heroes in hopes of striking a tactical blow against an enemy hellbent on enslaving all of Azieran. Wielding Darkannis, the blade upon which a horned, demonic bat is crucified, Draukenhaus finds himself accompanied by a motley band of strangers: Mizzerotte the volatile mage, St. Cerillian Skiles the pious saint, Diabolique the seductive trap master, Groan the steadfast giant, Delorian Dekx the deceptive harlequin, and a mysterious figure cloaked in black known only as The Archer."
almost every character is a dirt bag lol. when your 'hero' is a vampire seeking redemption for centuries of slaughter and one of the main characters is an insane, drug addicted harlequin, you won't be finding puppy dogs and lollipops
. its a fun read but very 'video gamey'. its non-stop battles and very RPG-ish with health potions curing the most insane wounds but it's entertaining.
