Etchings of Power - New epic fantasy

TCSimpson · 10-31-2011, 09:56 AM

ETCHINGS OF POWER (Aegis of the Gods Book 1)

A legendary killer without a memory, a gifted student who has lost his way, a vengeful assassin on an impossible mission, an old mentor whose only wish is to save her people. Kingdoms separate them but their fates are intertwined.

The opening stanza in a new epic fantasy series that delves into the themes of war, corruptible power, love, betrayal, and absolution in the world of Denestia.

Ryne Waldron, a living legend at the edge of madness is haunted by a murderous past and the voices of his power that whisper in his head. Hunted, he strives to defend a village he swore to protect. But his enemies might be closer than he could ever suspect.

Ancel Dorn, a gifted student, struggles with rejection and must accept who he is or perish to the creatures that stalk him and his parents. When he discovers he's targeted for death by beings that seemed to have stepped from the history of an ancient war, his only choice is to flee.

Irmina Nagel, Ancel's former lover, and an assassin sent to find Ryne, is mired in her quest for revenge on Ancel's parents, and must set aside her emotions or fail her final test. What she discovers may not only change her life but the world as a whole.

Caught between warring nations, vengeful leaders, magic and steel, myth and men, the fate of millions hang in the balance. Who can unite the kingdoms against a common threat? Who shall bring the power that drives the world to heel? Who will walk the knife's edge of harmony? If none can, then Denestia is doomed.

Purchase on Amazon

Are you releasing it anywhere other than B&N and Amazon? I don't have a kindle or a Nook.

Your link is incorrect it should be Aegis of the gods series. I'll take a look at what you have put on your web site if I like it I'll give the book a go.

Oh forgot to add I really like your cover..

Here's one of the latest reviews of the book.
Etchings of Power Review by Jackie Miller

This one left me so speechless, I just had to share it.

"Etchings of Power is one of the best books I have read this year, which puts this book among Prince of Thorns, Kingkiller Chronicles and Best Served Cold." - Sam Browning.

I never expected to be compared to my favorite authors' books. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/238458531

"Wow O Wow O Wow. What a book.

I have just finished reading this and immediately bought the other 2 books by this author.

This book was gripping with never a dull moment. The pace just kept ratcheting up building to one of the best finale's I have ever read which includes a shocking and unexpected twist.

This is epic stuff and a stay up late page turner.

The other reviews will tell you about the story, but if you enjoy epic fantasy then this is a real find and for the price a real steal. Why is this only £2 !!!

Terry Simpson has now gone on my must buy list with Erikson and Esslemont. Enjoy."

The fourth book in the series, Embers of a Broken Throne, is coming shortly. You can read the prologue in my latest book, an urban fantasy entitled, Shadeborn.

TCSimpson · 12-21-2013, 01:16 PM

Book 3, Embers of a Broken Throne, (which is actually the 4th volume in this series) is now out!

TCSimpson · 01-21-2014, 05:30 PM

"Etchings of Power is an epic read, and yet still feels like just the beginning. If swords, magic, legends, and spells are your genre, then Etching of Power is certain to satisfy." Another great review on Amazon.

TCSimpson · 06-17-2014, 04:29 PM

Better than 99% of the garbage out there. Very well-written. You'll not be disappointed in this book. Keeping this review short and simple. I couldn't put it down...
