About this ebook

A ruler betrayed by those closest to her. A young warrior with fearsome powers. A ruthless matriarchal land on the brink of destruction.

Legendary warrior Ramya has successfully ruled as Melokai for longer than most. Prosperous, peaceful, and happy, her people love her. Or so she thinks.

Ramya's time is up. Bracing herself for the gruesome sentence imposed on all Melokais who have served their purpose, she hears instead a shocking prophecy.

Is the abrupt appearance of a mysterious, eastern cave creature the prophesied danger? Or is it something darker, more evil? And what of the wolves? Will the ferocious war with their kind oust her from power?

Suddenly Ramya must fight threats from all sides to save her mountain realm. But while her back is turned, a conspiracy within her inner circle is festering. Ramya and her female warriors must crush an epic rebellion before it can destroy her and devastate her beloved nation.

She thinks it's the end, but it's just the beginning...

Melokai is a grimdark epic fantasy packed with unique creatures and beings, blood-soaked action and brutal battles. It's a sweeping tale of dark intrigue and conspiracy, forbidden love and sex, powerful magic and hardened warriors.

With intricate worldbuilding, a diverse cast of complex characters, and a richly detailed plot told from multiple narratives, this gritty adult fantasy will appeal to readers of George R. R. Martin, Mark Lawrence, Anna Stephens and Joe Abercrombie.

    I enjoyed reading about all the different characters. A lot of questions were left unanswered by the end of it, but being a trilogy that's expected. I don't really get the Darrio storyline, because so much is hinted at, and when the wolves play fight and then still speak to each other etc, I can't work out if they're as human like as they're described, or if they're 100% wolves who's only similarity to humans is their thinking and "speech".Looking forward to the next book to find out what happens.
