Looking for new high fantasy? Look no more! Here is our suggestion.
Publication date: June 28th, 2016
Publisher: Del Rey
Michael J. Sullivan's trailblazing career began with the breakout success of his Riyria series: full-bodied, spellbinding fantasy adventures whose imaginative scope and sympathetic characters won a devoted readership. Now, Sullivan's stunning hardcover debut, Age of Myth, inaugurates an original five-book series, and one of fantasy's finest next-generation storytellers continues to break new ground.
Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between men and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now, only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer, Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom, and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over; the time of rebellion has begun.
So this is Sullivan's new high fantasy series. I haven't read any of his books so I cannot tell you about them personally BUT I have done my research on Goodreads and I've seen all his books have an average above 4 stars! So I would say he is pretty well-known and liked at least within the genre. I must check his books out...
