Full of heroes, humor, and heart."- Jon Hollins If the Beatles held a concert tomorrow (with all the necromancy required for that to happen), it still wouldn't be as good a 'getting the band back together' story as this. Eames clearly set out to write something fun to read, and he has succeeded spectacularly."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Moreover, the plot is emotionally rewarding, original, and hilarious. Eames has cranked the thrills of epic fantasy up to 11.
Instead, I'll have to content myself with waiting for the sequel, and reading it again."- B&N SF & Fantasy Blog If I could, I'd see the tour, and buy the t-shirt. In short: it rocks.I finished this book in one night. "A comedy, an adventure tale, a consideration on growing older, and a sendup of fantasy conventions, all at the same time. All spiced with a sly sense of humour that had me smiling throughout. Great characters, loveable rogues that I genuinely cared about and all manner of fantastical monsters. "A fantastic read, a rollicking, page-turning, edge-of-your-seat road-trip of a book. Reading this book made me want to grab a sword and set off on an epic quest."- Christopher Paolini Magic swords, broken promises, and some of the craziest action you're likely to read this side of the Wyld. The boys are getting the band back together, and woe be to anyone who stands in their way. It was a blast to read, from start to finish.

Eames clearly set out to write something fun to read, and he has succeeded spectacularly."George R. Moreover, the plot is emotionally rewarding, original, and hilarious, and boasts a satisfying conclusion while leaving room for future books. The world is rich and exciting, with every classic fantasy monster on hand and a few delightfully horrifying new ones. Eames has cranked the thrills of epic fantasy up to 11 with gleeful disregard for restraint or good sense. Where dignified heroes would despair, Saga rises to every occasion, whether by old skill or uncanny good luck. Putting the band back together requires getting an enchanted sword out of hock, retrieving their wizard from his search for a cure for the disease that killed his husband, getting their dagger man to give up being a king, and freeing their main muscle guy from dire imprisonment. Clay Cooper's quiet retirement following his many adventures with Saga, a band of mercenaries, is interrupted when Saga's ex-leader, Gabriel, begs for help rescuing his daughter, Rose, who has become a mercenary in her own right and is now under siege with no hope of escape. In this brilliant debut novel, Eames creates a high-energy epic fantasy adventure straight from a heavy metal album cover.
