Description

Kaharas is one of the largest free cities on the continent of Varshon, a melting pot of humanoid species traveling, trading, and making a life for themselves. As all large cities, it attracts a substantial amount of crime largely ignored by the city's civil watch. But when the sorcerers of six races come together, sometimes the friction is bound to make things a bit hot. Enter: The Sorcerous Crimes Division. The S.C.D. is an organization of mage-adept constables dedicated to investigating and policing magical crime in the city of Kaharas. They spend their nights chasing rogue wizards, locking away dangerous artifacts, and just making sure citizens don’t wake up with their feet melted off.

In Devilbone, Commander Vulfort struggles with a growing problem of sorcerous contraband within the city that reaches a breaking point when an ancient necromantic reagent called Devilbone Dust, one of 14 forbidden substances, is discovered just outside the city. Meanwhile, Private Tanner has just arrived at the Division and faces the difficulty of adjusting to the dangerous life of a raider and tension within his squad. Together they must find the source of the Devilbone before the dark powers at work use it to destroy the city they are sworn to protect.

Advance Praise

"I am roughly half way through this novel, having only had it two days, and I can safely say that I love the premise. Procedural investigative drama intermingled with wizards and fantasy, with a healthy dose of action. The writer hits his stride whenever the characters are in motion. One particular room clearing scene was riveting, and as someone with experience in that regard I know he did his homework."

"Really enjoyed this, SWAT meets high fantasy."

"SCD: Devilbone is a very satisfying read. Scott Warren could easily take his place among the greats, with a writing style that I can only describe as reminiscent of Brandon Sanderson crossed with Jim Butcher. Read this if you get the chance, it's well worthwhile!"

""Loved it" barely scratches the surface..."

"This book is the first by this author and is amazing quality, I really enjoyed it and sincerely recommend it to anyone who likes (epic) fantasy books."
