Of Shepherds and Mages Book 2 - Smith, Ali Jon

. .

Résumé :
As the war deepens and spreads, Zanthred is a newly minted hero, a man of note. But jealous rivals on his own side might be as much a threat as the foe. On the other side of the world, Akai tries to rally support from the most unlikely of creatures: Humans. But is he to treat these strange, short-lived brutes as barbarians who cannot be yoked, or children who might be taught? The struggle continues in this second book in an ongoing epic of magic and strategy.

Biographie:
Ali Jon Smith is an archaeologist from the misty fens of eastern England. Academically, he specialised in the Bronze Age because there's less you have to know about people before they invented writing. Somewhat ironically, he now likes to relax by reading ancient works of literature, especially classical Greek texts and about the voyages of early explorers. When not digging up skeletons or contemplating the wine dark sea, Ali Jon runs games of D&D and sculpts miniatures. Ali Jon has been writing most of his life (he's now in his late 30s), slowly beating down the dyslexia which held him back in his early years. He is excited to finally be able to share his worlds and characters with other people. Authors which have had a big impact on his writing style include J.V. Jones and Julian May. One day he aspires to tell a story as well as Jeff Vandermeer or Peter F. Hamilton....
