Age of Myth (The Legends of the First Empire, #1)

One of fantasy’s finest next-generation storytellers continues to break new ground.<br/><br/>Michael J. Sullivan’s trailblazing career began with the breakout success of his Riyria series: full-bodied, spellbinding fantasy adventures whose imaginative scope and sympathetic characters won a devoted readership and comparisons to fantasy masters Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, and J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Now Age of Myth inaugurates an original five-book series.<br/><br/>Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever.<br/><br/>Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer; Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom; and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun.<br/><br/>Magic, fantasy, and mythology collide in Michael J. Sullivan’s Legends of the First Empire series:<br/>AGE OF MYTH • AGE OF SWORDS • AGE OF WAR
