“Echoes of the Past feels like the best mash-up of Brandon Sanderson, Joe Abercrombie and Michael J. Sullivan, while also being completely its own unique thing. This just does everything a great first book in a new epic fantasy series should do.” -- Grimdark Magazine.
Echoes of the Past is the debut of the "King's pride Saga", an epic fantasy series with grey, complex characters, multiple forms of magic, and a world to truly get lost in.

What's the story about?
Weckenstone has always revered the royal Tallmight line as divine. Yet when an enemy force invades, driven by a history Weckenstone tried to forget, the capital burns, and the Tallmight dynasty shatters.
Tiber, heir to the throne, dreams of becoming the hero who saves everyone. But war leaves little room for heroes, only monsters in gilded armour. And after losing control, Tiber’s own destructive magic terrifies him more than his enemies ever could.
Gwynn, Tiber’s twin, knows no such comforts. Scraping by in the lawless underground of a beautiful city, angry at the world, he searches for something—anything—to be proud of. Yet his abrasive nature pushes most away, except for his young tutor, the one person he dares to care for.
Reclaimer Aella, an officer and magic-user in the Phylondras army, has spent years carrying her family’s betrayal. But fighting Weckenstone and the Tallmights is perilous. The higher she climbs, the more she realises that rising above her treacherous past might require becoming something far worse.
The Tallmights never had a clean past. Their enemies haven’t forgotten how it was rewritten by the victors. With the war dragging on, Weckenstone’s proud ideals rot into corruption. Now, the twins must decide who to become, how they’ll lead—and whether their name is a legacy, or a curse buried in the echoes of the past.
