Summary
The world has stopped turning.
Burned by a blazing sun. Thrust into eternal winter.
Life survives only in the Sunset Forest.
For untold millennia, mankind lived subservient to the dryads, forced into worship of the Earth-Mother, Astea. Then one man ventured into the Scorched Desert and returned with the secret of fire. His rebellion brought the dryad empire to ash. In its place, he founded the Kingdom of Heartsong.
Twelve years later, the new king is missing. The earth trembles. Famine ravages the land, and a mysterious illness creeps through the capital.
Plots of treason and revenge abound, but as the mistakes of the past bear fruit, men will reap what they have sown.
Riven Earth is the story of a king who has lost his nerve, of his advisor tempted by the throne, of a politician plotting revolt, and of a dying soldier who finds new reasons to live. It is a character-focused epic fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive and Joe Abercrombie’s First Law.

For fans of: Malazan: Book of the Fallen (Steven Erikson); The Broken Earth (N.K. Jemisin); Gods of the Wyrdwood (RJ Barker); Sons of Darkness (Gourav Mohanty); Eidyn Saga (Justin Lee Anderson); Songs of the Drowned (Anna Stephens)
A prime example of the indie market keeping Epic Fantasy exciting. Diverse POVs. Bizarre magic. Nuanced dilemmas. Pretty much everything I want.
