It’s publication day. LEGACY OF A HATED GOD, the final Mennik Thorn novel, is out in the world, waiting for you – yes, you! – to read it.
There have been four books in this series, SHADOW OF A DEAD GOD, NECTAR FOR THE GOD, STRANGE CARGON, and now LEGACY OF A HATED GOD. I’ve spent four years in the company of Nik and his friends, but now it’s finally time to leave them.
The first reviews have already come in for the book, and I’m delighted to say that they’ve been unanimously gushing. Thank you, reviewers!
“It’s always bittersweet reaching the climax of a series, and even more so when it has one of your favourite characters, and there is always that question of how everything is going to be wrapped up.
“Brilliantly, as it transpires.
“Legacy of a Hated God encapsulates everything that has made this series so great but turns it up yet another notch.”
– Rowena Andrews, Beneath a Thousand Skies
“Hold onto your hats, kids, this is going to be a rave.
“This is the final Mennik Thorn novel. I’m sad to see the series end, but wow, did it go out with a bang! Legacy of a Hated God took everything I loved about the previous books (and there is a lot to love) and dialed it right up to eleven.”
– Jodie Crump, Witty and Sarcastic Bookclub
“The Mennik Thorn series comes to an end in the best, most epic of ways!
“Go get this book. You will not regret it.”
– Phil Parker, fantasy author and reviewer
To everyone who has joined me on this journey, thank you! And to those of you still on the road, I’ll see you at the end!
In just two days, on November 2, 2023, Legacy of a Hated God, the final Mennik Thorn novel, will be out in the world.
The ebook, paperback, and hardcover will all be available on the same day (although paperback will be Amazon only for a while as it will take a couple of weeks to work its way out to the other stores; sorry).
The early reviews have been fantastic. I am so grateful to everyone who has read the book and shared their opinions, and I look forward to hearing what everyone else thought!
Let’s take a look at how the hardcover actually looks. Here’s the front cover:
And the full-wrap dustjacket:
The naked inner cover, so you can get a good look at the art without all that annoying text on top of it:
And, finally, the first page of the story as it appears in the hardcover:
If you’re looking at this on a big screen like I am, those images are probably giant, so sorry about that!
If you haven’t pre-ordered the book yet, you can still get the ebook at the special, reduced pre-order price right now:
LEGACY OF A HATED GOD is the final Mennik Thorn book. With its publication in November 2, 2023, the Mennik Thorn series will be complete! The cover is now public, but if you’ve missed it, here it is in full glory:
The art is, as with all books in this series, by Ömer Burak Önal.
Here’s the book description:
Nik Thorn should know better than to get involved with gods.
But when a priest of a hated god asks Nik to save his life, Nik can hardly refuse, particularly when the priest knows exactly how, where, when, and why he is going to be killed. How hard can it be?
Of course, that’s not Nik’s only problem. When is it ever? A god has been murdered, the city’s high mages are about to go to war, and fury is rising in the streets.
Agatos will burn.
And here’s the full wrap-around paperback cover:
There will, of course, also be a hardcover.
You can pre-order the book right now and benefit from the cheaper pre-order price, all the way up to publication day.
