Herald Of The Storm

A new author who pays some serious tribute to Abercrombie with his style of grimdark. Do read if you like depressing, action ridden fantasy with a cast of troubled heroes. Some say this author is the best new and upcoming 'grimdark' author. I agree -- between Luke Sculls and Jeff Salyards, Richard Ford is an author to keep your eye on.
