The Last Dragoon
James Daniel Ross
Genre: Fantasy
When was the last time you believed someone who said: I will love you forever? What if they proved it? What is forever in comparison to the power of love? In the end, what is the raw power of the human soul?
The Ivy City is dying. It flails under a sea of the risen dead, the holy churches broken, the nobles largely destroyed, the population leaderless and alone, the city itself is bleeding and growing cold. Tattered crimson ribbons of blood fill the gutters. A despicable wizard, scion of the noble line, has shoved the Ivy City to the brink of death as he seeks what he sees as his rightful throne.
Doomed by his forbidden love, discarded by the crown, forgotten by the people, a disgraced hero rises from the ashes to combat the rising darkness. Accompanied by a novice of the god of death, this armored savior will crash headlong into the ranks of the undead. As the legions of the unliving surround and entrap him, he faces the dark truths of his own failures, and discovers the limits of his warrior will.
He will fight because of his oaths to the crown and because of his oaths to the city. But, in the end, he will fight against a horde of nightmares because he has sworn with the totality of his soul to the crown princess, whom he has vowed to love forever.
The only questions that remains are: What is the raw power of the human soul? And can it be enough against an army of the dead?

I Know Not: The Legacy of Fox Crow
James Daniel Ross
Genre: Fantasy
Being a bastard is sometimes a survival trait. I am not a bad man. Well, I must be honest with myself: I don’t try to be a bad man. It just seems to… happen.
I woke up in a castle populated by corpses. Devoid of past or present, bereft of even a name, so I must be honest with myself.
I discovered I am a wizard with a blade, silent as the wind, and as deadly as a forest fire. When other men look and see safety, I can feel the ambush coming. When others see only smiles, I can smell the hidden plots and secreted knives. When others only see walls and guards, I can find a highway to the heart of the most imposing castle. I wish I knew what all these things mean, but I must be honest with myself and say I know not.
I must be honest because I am a fantastic liar. If I begin lying to myself I will not be able to survive. And I intend to survive.
A virtuoso in the symphonies of death, follow Fox Crow as he begins a journey of self discovery begun in an abattoir, that continues through forbidding lands and the courts of the highest born, and culminates in the coldest darkness filled with temptation and murder.
The first fantasy novel of award winning author, James Daniel Ross, I Know Not is a hard hitting, gritty, adventure. Welcome to a world with far more shadows than sunshine. Walk the forest paths where the faeries eat human flesh. Explore a world where the heroes may wear black.
