Anne Shortlived Gritty and richly imagined fantasy world

Max Shepherd’s Stoneheart is a brutal and richly imagined fantasy world, filled with endless arena combat, layered tension, and magical conflict. From the very first chapter, readers enter an unforgiving landscape where warriors fight for survival and glory. It’ll feel like the entire book is a constant battle but that’s war for you.

The setting of Porenza is detailed and atmospheric, it’s obvious the author cares for his world and the characters. I appreciate the ambition and if you’re someone who likes to read a lot of combat action you’ll love this.
