Synopsis

The epic fantasy debut by award-winning author, Robert A. Walker, about an idyllic kingdom brought to its knees by thieves and assassins, and the brave few who dare to stand in evil’s way.

“A fantastically detailed, murder-fueled adventure in a violent fantasy setting.”--Kirkus Reviews

“Walker’s polished debut…both promises and delivers an enthralling narrative that leaves readers anticipating the next chapter.”--Booklife by Publishers Weekly

The tranquil world of Baelon is shattered when the queen and princess of Aranox are killed. Even as King Axil mourns his wife and daughter’s death, the sinister Takers Guild plots his assassination.

Retired guardsman Rolft Aerns–having failed to protect the royal family–struggles with accusatory demons. Overcome with guilt but still loyal to the crown, he returns with his swords to Castle Aranox in search of redemption.

Widow Mari Dunn’s prophecies are met with skepticism until her warning of an attempt on King Axil’s life comes true. When she and her brooding daughter–who possesses skills of her own–are summoned to the castle, they find loyalty and treachery living under the same roof.

The Guild of Takers strengthens its efforts to overthrow the monarchy by enlisting the League of Assassins, but the bumbling machinations of an overly ambitious thief with his hands in the till threatens to derail their well-laid plans.

Guild overseer Reynard Rascall and his lethal sidekick Spiro hunt the culprit down, but when their paths inadvertently cross that of the vengeful Rolft, all hell breaks loose in the shadows of Baelon and the murder count rises quickly.

When the dust settles, much remains hidden beneath it. The future of the monarchy and the Takers Guild is anything but certain; determining guilt and innocence is no easy task; even separating the dead from the living proves to be a challenge.

Will the king survive his enemies? Will the Guild of Takers reign supreme? Will Rolft avenge the queen and princess’ deaths, or will he be executed for the most heinous of crimes?

As the realm’s undertaker says, “Death awaits us all… it’s just far less patient with some.”

Six Moons, Seven Gods is a multiple POV epic medieval fantasy wrapped in intrigue, conspiracy, prophecy, and the fight to retain one’s honor in a world steeped in corruption and treachery. For fans of complex politics, rich world-building, sparkling dialogue and flawed characters.

“A brilliant, compelling narrative.”--Literary Titan

"An exceptionally rewarding fantasy... there are twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat, unable to stop reading."--Ronel Steyn for Readers’ Favorite
