"The shifting smoke and embers swirled up and began to take a shape. The savage thing had arms and eyes. I tried to convince myself I was dreaming while another legless being emerged from the next tree."
The past is revealed in this epic fantasy steeped in the mystery of old gods, blood magic, and statecraft. Ignited by redemption and conquest, this journey will test their struggles to survive and will put them at odds with their families, their nation, and the very powers that shaped the world. But, this story is bigger than these things.
It's bigger than all of us.
"I love that the heroes are engaged in building community, in contrast to so many fantasy novels that focus on the hero learning to stand alone, despite the cast of thousands supporting him." – Tina, Goodreads
"Ghosts in the Yew presents an interesting take on the battle between good and evil." – Runaway Pen
You can read the trilogy in full volumes, or broken up into five novellas each.
