I’m excited and so pleased to help Michael Michel spread the word about today’s publication of the third volume of his Dreams of Dust and Steel series, Banners of Wrath. I’m happy to talk about Michel’s work any time–but a publication day post means I have been reading a new Michael Michel book, and that pleases me greatly. I’ll talk about my reactions to this book in an hour or so (TL;DR: It’s his best yet), but for now…let’s just spread the word about this.

About the Book:
War has come.
A Kurgish host wreaks havoc among the mountain clans, slaughtering and enslaving their way up the ladder of power.
To the east, the Scarborn fortify their position while they plot their next attack.
As chaos and social unrest unfold across Namarr, Scothea mobilizes for holy conquest. The Arrow of Light’s grip on his cultists grows stronger, his miracles ever more alarming.
Meanwhile, the battle in the River of conscious reality has just begun.
With every day that passes and every hero that dies, the odds of preventing annihilation dwindle.
Banners span the horizon. Beneath them, a tide of steel marches. Legions of fury. Men of war. Armies of wrath.
Woe to any who dares stand in their way.
