When an attempt is made on the life of Ashara, Keeper of Yurr, his young, hapless advisor Edvar must uncover and stop those behind it. With enemies in the capital city and the belligerent Tesh, Keeper of neighbouring nation Karrabar stirring trouble in the Borderlands, can Edvar hold together Ashara's brittle reign? The troubles ripple throughout Yurr, affecting an ancient race of people known as the Amast, who in their time of utmost need, turn to pariah Isy for salvation. Rejected by society, kith and kin, can Isy guide the Amast to safety during the greatest turmoil Yurr has known since the War of the Damned? ◆ Reviews ◆ “I went from being hooked to utterly absorbed into the story. I picked up the book every moment I could snag a free minute or two.“ Geeks Under Grace. “A great read that will keep you spellbound as you traverse the world alongside Isy and Edvar,” Books Behind The Title. “I think this book really shines in the details, though, giving each character something to work through personally while also trying to sort out the external situations.” E.G. Stone, Quill and Pen Society. “A tale of acceptance and confidence with breathtaking worldbuilding.” Jessica Mack, Jem Edits Book Blog. “The character journeys are incredibly well-constructed.” Laura Buckley, Book Blogger. “The story was perfectly paced and I was so wrapped up in the story, wanting to know how it was going to end that I read the entire thing in one go.” Worlds Unlike Our Own. “There is a glorious balance of elements in Pariah’s Lament. You have deep political intrigue, strong, engaging characters, humour in even the darkest moments, and dynamic pulse-quickening action.” Bookends and Bagends. “Other than Brandon Sanderson, Billing has written my favourite battle scenes where they’re epic, grand, but not confusing, leaving me lost.” Sarah Lillian Books. “Pariah’s Lament is a book full of political intrigue, warfare, and action. However, it is also a book about the dispossessed and rejects of a society finding the courage in themselves to save the world that rejects them.” Bibliophilia Book Reviews. ◆ More By Richie Billing ◆ Flying On The Ground - an anthology of short fiction covering the genres of fantasy, dark fiction, general fiction and crime A Fantasy Writers' Handbook - a complete guide on how to write a fantasy novel
