The gods will see you brought down...The spirits of your ancestors will have their revenge upon you...The Saviours will drain you of your very soul. In claiming a place in the world, mortals have won many enemies for themselves. The ancient gods are jealous and conspire against them. The King of the Dead looks to lead his armies into the land of the living. In their own realm, the mighty Declension watches and waits, as events begin to unfold precisely as they had always planned. Jillan and his companions are beset on all sides, yet are plagued by self-doubt and internal division. When the final battle for survival begins, both they and their gods face extinction. They are easy prey for the warriors of the Declension, who are intent upon stripping Jillan of his magic and raising up their empire once more. His friends and beloved Hella taken from him, Jillan is captured and tortured. He is ultimately broken and condemned to work in a mine, to see out his days labouring in misery for the enemy he has fought against his entire life. He is a man without hope.

Hello there! I'm mainly preoccupied with the question 'If Darth Vader and Dracula were fighting each other, who would win?' When not pondering said question, I bend my mind to writing gothic fantasy. It keeps me off the streets, but often gets me into trouble. Praise for A J Dalton's writing: SFX - ‘Empire Of The Saviours gives you an interesting setting and a devilishly good villain’ SciFi Now magazine - ‘Engaging, filled with sacrifice, adventure and some very bloody battles!’ Waterstones central buyer - ‘The best young British fantasy author on the circuit at the moment’ Sfbook.com - ‘Different, fresh and unique’ Best-selling author with Gollancz - Empire of the Saviours, Gateway of the Saviours, Tithe of the Saviours. Titles published with Kristell Ink - The Book of Angels, The Book of Orm. Other titles - I Am a Small God, Necromancer's Gambit, Necromancer's Betrayal, Necromancer's Fall. Hey, I did my best. Oh shut up. It's big in Germany.
