Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames
5.0

Do you like high fantasy? Tolkein? Martin? Is your idea of a good time getting the hang together for D&D? Ever wish a band of aging mercenaries went on one last hilarious, heart-warming, glorious adventure?

READ KINGS OF THE WYLD!!

Full of heart with just the right notes of humor and viciousness, Kings of the Wyld is a satisfying read. In a time when bands of mercenaries tour like rock stars, fighting monsters in arenas for entertainment, Clay Cooper and the rest of his aging ex-bandmates must come together for one last journey through the horror-filled, monster-infested Heartwyld to rescue a maiden and save the world. Subtle nods to high fantasy classics, KotW has an imaginative and original world that's a good dose of GoT with a sly smidge of Pratchett's absurd satire.
