Tales of Blood and Bones Book 1: The Seven Trials of Constable Tarthadius

Book excerpt: In the early 12th century, the world enjoys its Fourth Age of Magic. Seas churn at the flick of a wrist and the dead rise from the ground at a beckoned call. Monsters stalk the land and demons lie in wait in every shadow. In the waning years of such an age, two sibling sorcerers and each of their fanatical armies vie for control over the planet. Constable Tarthadius seeks out the power to turn the tides of war and send the world into an Endless Age in one fell swoop. Such a power, he suspects, lies within The Grand Hall of Iniquity, the world's most well kept secret. Inside are held captured horrors, feral nightmares, and the darkest of arcane artifacts pilfered from every corner of the globe. Getting inside is the hard part. Finding want you want is even harder. And getting out is next to impossible.
