Halorum by Serdar Aydemir

For fans of old-school sword and sorcery with a splash of modern spice, Halorum by Serdar Aydemir is a bold start to a new series. Despite leaning heavily on the classic fantasy dichotomies of dark/light, gods/men, and past shadows/present deeds, the novel sparkles with originality and memorable characters who are easy to root for, and against. With a deft pen, Aydemir has constructed a terrifically dark and fascinating world of Reaper Knights, romance, and high-level fantasy that will draw fans from Tolkien to Salvatore.
