  • Dawn of the Valiant (The Valerious Chronicles: Book One) on Sep. 21, 2013

    When you read a book by David Eddings, George R R Martin or David Gemmell, you become immersed in a world that has depth and history, the characters are engaging, endearing and the kind of people that you can genuinely believe in and come to love and hate, and the plot will have more twists and turns than a roller coaster. Reading Dawn of the Valiant evokes the same imagery, character engagement and twisting plot lines as some of Fantasy writing’s greatest authors. Author, Julian Saheed, has created an exceptionally diverse, and detailed world in which he has developed characters that emotively connect with the reader, and take them on a journey of growth, self discovery and maturity to become strong, engaging players in a story that is original in concept and delivered in a truly immersive way. You will find yourself losing hours to this book and wanting more at its conclusion. Let’s hope that the next instalment of this saga is not too far away... An excellent novel from a first time author
