On the ninth day of Christmas, Solaris
gave to me... a time-travel into ancient times, where the Macht seek to reign,
and then back again to modern day, where ancient gods rule the day. I saw the Kings of Morning, where the great,
young Corvus, king of the Macht, prepares the final overthrow of an invincible
empire. Then arriving back in 2012, I found myself in London, where jungle
overran concrete blocks. I had entered the Age of Aztec to watch a single vigilante and the detective determined to catch
him on a quest to prevent the apocalypse. Perhaps ‘relaxing’ isn’t the right
word, but this Christmas allow yourself some classic enjoyment that you won’t
regret.
Kings of Morning, Book Three in The Macht Triology | Paul Kerney
£7.99, ISBN: 978-1-907519-38-3
The final,
thrilling conclusion to the Macht
Trilogy.
For the first time in recorded history, the ferocious city-states
of the Macht now acknowledge a single man as their overlord. Corvus, the
strange and brilliant boy-general, is now High King, having united his people
in a fearsome, bloody series of battles and sieges. He is not yet thirty years
old.
A generation ago, ten thousand of the Macht marched into the heart
of the ancient asurian empire and fought their way back out again, passing into
legend. Corvus’s father was one of those who undertook that march, and his most
trusted general, Rictus, was their leader. But he intends to do more. The preparations
will take years, but when they are complete, Corvus will lead an invasion the likes
of which the world of Kuf has never seen. Under him, the Macht will undertake nothing
less than the overthrow of the entire Asurian Empire...

The date is 4 Jaguar 1 Monkey 1 House – November 25th 2012, by the

The Aztec reign is one of cruel and ruthless oppression, fuelled

defies them: the masked vigilante known as the Conquistador.
Then the Conquistador is recruited to spearhead an uprising, and
discovers a terrible truth about the Aztec and their gods. The clock is
ticking. Apocalypse looms, unless the Conquistador can help assassinate the
mysterious, immortal Aztec emperor, the Great Speaker. But his mission is
complicated by Mal Vaughn, a police detective who is on his trail, determined
to bring him to justice.
