Description

The adventure continues in this character-driven epic fantasy series.

Advance Praise

Advance praise for The Song of the Burning Heart series:

"Damn. This was amazing. I loved that you can tell this was inspired by Game of Thrones, but the author did a brilliant job making it their own. The world was so rich. The stories so engaging. And so many times I found myself pleasantly surprised." - Goodreads Review

"Ben Spencer has just delivered a tour-de-force. If he manages to deliver on the promise of the series, this will become the entry point for one of the defining titles in the genre. More Rothfuss than Jordan, but Spencer is about to be on the Rushmore of epic fantasy." - Goodreads Review
