When the gods return to claim their world, the Five Realms will fall, in this earth-shaking epic fantasy thriller from the author of Lost Gods

When the gods return to claim their world, the Five Realms will fall, in this earth-shaking epic fantasy thriller following on from the author's seminal debut, Lost Gods

For centuries the Five Lands have been at peace, but now a nameless enemy is tearing apart their borders. When a young assassin, Neythan, is summoned to Súnam, he expects to help uncover the enemy, but is instead confronted with secrets from his forgotten childhood, all somehow linked to the ancient scroll he has always carried. As the invasion continues, and the supernatural forces responsible are unveiled, Neythan must learn the truth about the power that lies in his blood... before it is too late.

Praise for Pale Kings

"Yongo invigorates the epic fantasy genre with his original and accomplished voice in the striking and throroughly enjoyable Lost Gods."
- Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time

"Fast-paced and intriguing... with an African inspired setting that makes a refreshing change."
- Anna Smith Spark, author of The Court of Broken Knives

"Lost Gods is a fully immersive experience which made me a fan again. It made me seriously take my time, soak in its prose, get lost in this fully realized, rich and vital world, and get whisked along in its adventure. Micah Yongo pays respect to his elders, like Charles Saunders, while defining a space for himself in the pantheon of great sword & sorcery (sword & soul!). He is a griot, a true storyteller, coming into his own."
- Maurice Broaddus, author of the Knights of Breton Court trilogy and The Usual Suspects

"Lost Gods is a tense, complex fantasy thriller that keeps the reader guessing until the very end."
- Mike Brooks, author of the Keiko series

"Lost Gods is fresh, fierce, and lush with inspiration from the lands and mythology of ancient Africa and the Middle East."
- Cameron Johnston, author of The Traitor God
