Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best, the most feared and renowned crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.
Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help--the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.
It's time to get the band back together.

"A comedy, an adventure tale, a consideration on growing older, and a sendup of fantasy conventions, all at the same time. It also has heart.In short: it rocks....I finished this book in one night.

"Kings
of
the
Wyldis
gritty
but
not
grim.
It
was
a
blast
to
read,
from
start
to
finish.
The
boys
are
getting
the
band
back
together,
and
woe
be
to
anyone
who
stands
in
their
way.
Magic
swords,
broken
promises,
and
some
of
the
craziest
action
you're
likely
to
read
this
side
of
the
Wyld.
Reading
this
book
made
me
want
to
grab
a
sword
and
set
off
on
an
epic
quest."

Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best - the meanest, dirtiest, most feared and admired crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.
But their glory days are long past; the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk - or a combination of the three. Then a former bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help: his daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy horde one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of impossible mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.
It's time to get the band back together for one last tour across the Wyld.

'Bloody Rose solidifies what Kings of the Wyld proved. Eames writes like a hurricane and has a voice like no one else in this genre' - Sam Sykes
