If you're looking for a new, dark fantasy/grim dark novel, look no further than EMPIRE OF BLOOD AND SAND by Alister Hodge.
In a brutal desert empire, Jael Crowfeeder survives as a Beast Hunter. Last of his kind and despised by society, he’s betrayed and thrown in prison just as a legion of man and monster storm the border. Forcibly conscripted, Jael will soon wet his sword in the front lines.
I liked this one a lot.
I already have the (just released) sequel CITY OF STONE AND RUIN, waiting on my Kindle.
