Description: Praise for The Dark Apostle series: "Ambrose's fantasy debut depicts a 14th-century England in which magic and fledgling science exist side by side.... This beautifully told, painfully elegant story should appeal to fans of LE Modesitt's realistic fantasies as well as of the period fantasy of Guy Gavriel Kay ." -- Library Journal (starred review) "A vivid, violent, and marvelously detailed historical fantasy set in the perilous world that is medieval England in the middle of a war. Elisha Barber wades through blood and battle in his pursuit of arcane knowledge--forbidden love--and dangerous magic." --Sharon Shinn, author of Troubled Waters "In a grim world of medieval warfare, witch-hunts, and primitive surgery, EC Ambrose has crafted a shining tale of one man's humanity and courage. A gritty read for those who like realism as well as hope in their fantasy ." --Glenda Larke, author of The Last Stormlord " Elisha Barber is, at its heart, a story of resilience, of why we strive to be better, even when that journey seems pointless. As the start of a new series, the book sets a half-dozen plates spinning, and not a one wobbles for a second ."-- San Francisco Book Review "EC Ambrose has created an exciting, adventure-filled world that draws you in; you are able to picture not only the characters but the world they live in. Elisha Magus is fantasy at its best , and I can't wait for the next book." --Fresh Fiction "I am really enjoying this series. After reading the first book, I was eager to read [ Elisha Magus ]. It did not disappoint ." --Night Owl Reviews "The historical milieu is detailed and brings the period into sharp focus.... The magical battles rivet readers' attention as Elisha fights for his life and sanity. Book three looms in the wings as Elisha learns to wield his powers and protect his chosen king ." --SFRevu
