City of Blaze (The Fireblade Array)
by H.O. Charles
Here’s the set-up for H.O.Charles’ City of Blaze, just $2.99 on Kindle:
City of Blaze is the first book in romantic-fantasy-epic series The Fireblade Array, and it’s a romance with a difference.
Hidden by monument and pride, the city is crumbling beneath a mountain of its own indulgences.
Its army abuse the castle’s servants, confident that deadly wielders have been exterminated; wars are fought to encourage otherwise absent mortality; countless people suffer from the terrible pangs of nalka, the hunger for intimacy; and all the while its king concerns himself with choosing which of his disappointing concubines to execute next.
The duty falls upon his emotionally-handicapped son, Morghiad, to restore the city’s strength and the army’s purpose. In his attempts to do so, he uncovers darker horrors and encounters a young servant who could either be his greatest ally or his greatest hindrance.
City of Blaze is a story of changing allegiances, self-control and love.
What other readers have said:
- “A Terry-Pratchett-meets-Trudi-Ca
navan-and-has-a-picnic-with- George-RR-Martin kind of book… because I have already read the sequel Nation of Blaze (The Fireblade Array) I can honestly say it gets bigger, better and even more interesting.” Cheryl M. - “Cr*p… PLEASE tell me there’s a second book coming up! Excellent book with the worst blazing cliffhanger EVER. Cruelty I say.” Ken San
- “It has been many years since I have come across a series I cannot put down and go hunting for the next. The story keeps you looking for what’s next all the way through. And the writing style? Very impressive. Just the way it reads would have me pause and think ‘Wow, that was a fabulous way to phrase that.’ I cannot wait to see how the series progresses!” Therese E

The Fireblade Array is an unusual mix of epic fantasy (no elves), blazing romance and weird humour.
