Myke Cole, author of the beloved military fantasy Shadow Ops series, debuts a new epic fantasy trilogy with The Armored Saint, a tale of religious tyrants, arcane war-machines, and underground resistance that will enthrall epic fantasy readers of all ages.
After witnessing a horrendous slaughter, young Heloise opposes the Order, and risks bringing their wrath down on herself, her family, and her village. She must confront the true risk that wizards pose to the world, and weigh the safety of her people against justice.

This is one of the most brutal fantasy books I have ever read. Nonstop action, magic, fight scenes and adventure from almost the first page, The Armored Saint chews up familiar fantasy tropes and spits them out in your face. In a world where magic is strictly forbidden for reasons the common folk have almost forgotten, sinister priests slaughter innocent people in order to prevent the gates of hell being opened. Heliose witnesses one such slaughter and against all odds stands up not only to the Order, but to the demons that havee been unwittingly unleashed on her people. If you like your fantasy laced with horror and action, this is for you. - Rebecca (QBD)
