About The Ember Reach by J. Gibson
In this dark fantasy tale, author J. Gibson blends elements of political intrigue, supernatural horror, and epic adventure to create an immersive world that will appeal to fans of series like The Black Company, The First Law, and A Song of Ice and Fire.
When undead horrors attack the city of Imbredon, a young woman named Karis barely escapes with her life. Fleeing the carnage, she encounters strange entities; demons, a mysterious angel, and a monstrous creature called Ariseis that hunts Karis for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, in the Imperial capital of Aros, a half-elven deacon named Amun finds herself embroiled in dangerous political machinations. Members of the Ennead, the ruling council of archbishops, are being murdered by a conspiracy of rogue mages. As Amun investigates alongside her mentor Archbishop Delacroix, she uncovers clues pointing to a looming supernatural threat.
The protagonists’ journeys eventually intertwine as they face both human and inhuman dangers. Karis teams up with Samorah, a defected paladin, to confront the spider-like monsters plaguing the village of Arkala. Amun pursues traitorous magisters, enduring torture at the hands of a malicious entity. Vivid action sequences abound, from magical battles against mutating abominations to gritty melee combat.
