Liberator's Ruin

by P. J. Johns

Overview

In a world at war, three people may decide the fate of an entire country.

Nathaniel An’Rieyr, captain of the Storm Brother, has no interest in the war. He has made a career avoiding it whilst simultaneously profiting from it. War might be waging across the world, but that’s none of his business. Except even the best laid plans can fail utterly, and there’s not a damned thing he can do about it ...

As the last surviving member of the Illysian Royal Family, the war is all Anna has left. The Rhivellian Empire took her family, her throne and her country. Unable to compete against the might of the Rhivellian war machine, Anna enacts a plan to retrieve a mighty artefact from a long-forgotten time. With it, she will finally have the power to force the Empire from her land. A goal for which she will sacrifice anyone, even her closest ally.

Thomas Ras’Kar, High Inquisitor of the Rhivellian Empire, has been sent to the capital of Illys in disgrace, where he will be forced to contend with the incompetent Thane Charles. Three years of occupation has seen the people of Illum cowed and the Thane’s interest turned to his own pleasures. A fate worse than death for a man of honour and action such as Thomas. But the Princess is returning to Illum, and she may be the key to Thomas’ redemption.

About the Author

Phillip J. Johns was born in Coventry in 1980, before moving to Nuneaton where he spent most of his formative years. Later, he went on to study for a degree and masters in Archaeology at the University of Leicester, and loved the city so much that he has since stayed there.

Phillip has always considered himself to be a writer, having written stories since a young age. His very first story was written at the age of 10, and consisted of 6 pages of an exercise book. However, it would be another 18 years before he began his first novel.

Phillip has the unfortunate habit of being easily distracted by games, and can often be found playing around on xbox live (avoiding the trash talk some use), either riding off into the distance to deal with some gang as a cowboy, or cowering in the bowels of a space station.
