Praise for Upon the Flight of the Queen: The second book in the Ring-Sworn Trilogy, Upon the Flight of the Queen is just as thrilling and immersive as the first book. War and espionage, magic and dragons, and compelling characters fill this epic fantasy, which will fully satisfy fans of the first book and leave them eagerly waiting for book three. --San Francisco Book Review Exhilarating...This powerful epic fantasy is a heart-racing, action-packed thrill. --Publishers Weekly Praise for For the Killing of Kings: Jones's exciting epic will have readers laughing, crying, and cheering for the men and women of the Altenerai. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) Howard Andrew Jones, an aficionado nonpareil of heroic adventure, has surpassed himself. For the Killing of Kings is the opening salvo of a thrilling epic set in a world that only he could envision: a thunderous, sword-clanging treat. -- Ian Tregillis, author of The Mechanical Honor pushed out of fashion by fanaticism, honest talent diverted by tyranny, monsters at every border, deceit guiding all: For the Killing of Kings is a fantasy for our times, with a sword at its backbone but humans at its heart. World-building shines out of every ritual, in fragments of poetry and lines of plays. There are strong women on practically every page, strong friendships, plenty of warriors and mages, fight scenes galore, and a sense of playfulness to parry each stroke of solemnity. Reading Howard Andrew Jones is like opening a present from a friend who keeps promising, with a cheeky grin: This is my best one yet. And it's always true. -- C. S. E. Cooney, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Bone Swans
