Book Synopsis1260, Persia: Due to the efforts of the great Genghis Khan, the Mongol Empire covers a vast portion of the known world. In the shadow of his grandfather, Hulagu, ruler of the Ilkhanate, is determined to create a single empire that covers the entire world. His method? Violence. His youngest son, Temujin, struggles to find his place in his father’s bloody rule. After another failure, Temujin is given one last chance to prove himself to Hulagu, who is sure there is a great warrior buried deep inside. But there’s something else rippling under the surface… something far more powerful and dangerous than they could ever imagine… Reduced to the position of one of Hulagu’s many wives, the Blue Princess Kokochin is the last of her tribe. Alone and forgotten in a foreign land, Kokochin is unwilling to spend her days seeking out trivial pursuits. Seeking purpose, she finds herself wandering down a path that grants her more power than a wife of the ruler may be allowed. Kaivon, the Persian rebel who despises the Mongols for the massacre of his people, thirsts for revenge. However, he knows alone he cannot destroy the empire. When given the opportunity to serve Hulagu, Kaivon must put aside his feelings and risk his life for a chance to destroy from within an empire that aims to conquer the world. Family and war collide in this thrilling and bloody reimagining of the Mongol Empire’s invasion of Persia. File Under: Fantasy [ A Conqueror's choice Flickering light Rebellion sparks Stolen Survival ]Trade Review"The Judas Blossom is a tale of family bonds and rivalries, assassins and long-forgotten magic. Bloody and epic, Stephen Aryan has depicted the brutal Mongol Empire by weaving history and fantasy together. A must read!"- Shauna Lawless, author of The Children of Gods and Fighting Men"Aryan’s latest is perfect for those who enjoy dynamic historical fiction with a touch of magic, like the work of Guy Gavriel Kay."– Library Journal"The Judas Blossom is relentless, unforgiving, and inescapable. Packed with ever expanding webs of intrigue, the story drags you kicking and screaming from page to page. The burn starts off slow, but once the stage is set the plot moves like a runaway train" – Ryan Cahill, author of The Broken & The Bound series"A delicious, blood soaked tale of power and duty. A thrilling and savage tale of family, imperialism and moralistic turmoil."– Stacey McEwan, author of bestselling Ledge"Ancient Persia provides a fresh and vivid setting for the rediscovery of long-lost magic and the machinations of secret societies fighting the Mongol Empire. Historical fantasy at its finest!"– Cameron Johnston, author of The Maleficent Seven"With The Judas Blossom, Stephen Aryan shows exactly why he’s the 21st Century's David Gemmell. He transports you back in time to when great Khans swept across the world, conquering all in a tale that truly deserves to be called epic. Aryan deftly interweaves grandiose battles with the intimate machinations of power politics as only a true master can. The Game of Khans has begun and I can’t wait to see what happens next."– Mike Shackle, author of We Are The Dead "The Judas Blossom is an ambitious, majestic and brutal historical fantasy read that impresses throughout. The novel skilfully covers an era, areas, and cultures that are not typical with fantasy novels or historical retellings, with excellent action scenes, sieges, confrontations, barbed verbal exchanges, political intrigue, deception, and cleverness. A riveting tale, set in a dynamic world that is equally beautiful and terrifying, the characters, action scenes, political intrigue, and trickery present here will make many grimdark readers extremely happy."– Grimdark Magazine"The Judas Blossom is one of the best books I have read. Not just this year or the last twelve months, but ever. Period. It is a powerful story of power, love and betrayal in a vivid setting; clever, character-driven story-telling at its best."– Sarah Deeming, British Fantasy Society"An explosive insight into the vast world of the Mongolian Empire, with Assassins and Conspiracies that threaten its very existence. Exceptionally immersive worldbuilding, this novel illustrates why the Mongols were feared, and for good reason. Excellent dialogue, excellent worldbuilding, and one you don't want to miss in the world of Historical Fiction!" –Mada, Fanfiaddict"A diamond in the fantasy rough. The Judas Blossom is entirely focused on creating an intricate historical world for us to explore and discover for ourselves. I couldn’t put it down." – Holly Hearts Books, YouTube"This book is incredible and exhilarating; Stephen Aryan just wrote the first book in what I believe will become his legacy series."– Lezlie, The Nerdy Narrative, YouTube"Vivid historical, military fantasy showing rebellion from within and epic, ancient magic elements."– Jashana, YouTube"A fascinating and gorgeous historical fantasy that will tug at your heartstrings."– M.C. Frank, author of No Ordinary Star"Historical fantasy fans will be delighted by The Judas Blossom and the sweeping scope of its narrative that will transport them to a breathtaking world of danger, intrigue, and magic. Seamlessly weaving together intricate world-building, vibrant characters and resonant themes of courage, love, and sacrifice, this novel will leave you mesmerized."– Stephenie Sheung, The Bibliosanctum"This is why we read! A historical fantasy at the very top of it’s game, and it should be on top of everyone’s reading pile. Characters that feel fresh and authentic, a plot that explores the fate of the Mongol empire with all of the breathtaking action and twists that you love to see in modern fantasy. An early contender for book of the year."– The Brothers Gwynne“Aryan evokes a rich sense of time and place. Persia in the 13th century comes to vivid life on the page, in clean prose that never needs reams of exposition to build the world in our imaginations." – SFF180"Stephen Aryan continues to prove why he is the true successor to David Gemmell. Brutal, compelling, and full of heart Judas Blossom is a masterclass in historical fantasy."– Andrew's Wizardly Reads, YouTube "Engaging and exhilarating, with a fantastical cast, balanced pacing, and an exciting plot, The Judas Blossom is filled with lots of characters to connect with, history to uncover, magic to behold and drama to unfold. I’d recommend this to fans of Ken Liu, David Hair and anyone who wants diversity of cultures in their fantasy."– Kitty G Books, YouTube"Family and honor feature heavily as old alliances are broken and new ones are made. While the majority of this novel centers around the blood-soaked battlefields and cities that are ravaged then slowly rebuilt under Mongol occupation, the resistance bubbling to the surface whispers hope that someday their rule will end."– Booklist"Romance, friendship, violence, and supernatural powers permeate the tale, making this a great option for fantasy fans and new listeners alike. The real-world historical context of Aryan’s novel adds depth and will have listeners eagerly awaiting the next installment in this planned trilogy."– Library Journal, review for Audiobook edition

File Under: Fantasy [ Last Stand The Battle Persists Rising Enemy Cold Front ]Trade ReviewPRAISE FOR JAMES A. MOORE "Fantasy does not get much better than this." - Morpheus Tales "James A. Moore keeps getting better. The cast of characters expands. Moore juggles them with ease, giving each one some background so that they don't all run together. And the battle scenes, whether it's individual combat or armies clashing, are riveting. Plus the intrigue keeps on getting more complex. This is one is highly recommended." - Adventures Fantastic "The prose is sharp, the pace wonderfully timed with great action tempered with some wonderful lulls to allow you to get your breath back. Back this up with some great characters alongside a world that is delightfully designed all round makes this a series that continues to go from strength to strength. Finally, and this is the clincher for me, Moore gives the characters a depth with their dialogue that not only shows their devotions but also gives them a roundedness that allows you to become fully immersed. Cracking." - Falcata Times "I need more stories set in this world. Please indulge me, Mr Moore." - Fantasy Book Review "A strong instalment with no shortage of action." - The Speculative Herald "I love this series, I will not lie about it.

He knows he wept, but he cannot recollect a single other detail. Tormented by the tragedy, Sean relives the horror over and over again. As he struggles to recall what really happened, his imagination serves up an endless chain of scenarios. The truth, however, remains hidden in the vault of his memory, and the key is nowhere to be found. Nearly two decades later, Sean, now remarried and a father of two, wins a bizarre contest hosted by his eccentric boss. The prize is the Memory Palace, a state-of-the-art black box that purportedly allows its possessor to relive every moment he has ever experienced, playing out all the memories on a screen.While the small machine at first appears to be the answer to the mystery surrounding the death of his wife, it instead upends Sean’s life. He pushes his family further and further away as the Memory Palace forces him to confront harsh realities and difficult questions that he lacks the strength to face or answer. Spiraling downward, Sean encounters increasingly harrowing challenges that force him to realize that his memory is not the only thing at stake. To recover the truth about his past, Sean must fight for his very life.Trade Review"Suffused with an atmosphere that suggests J.G. Ballard and Paolo Coelho chained together in a basement while a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, Scarecrow Has a Gun is at once disquieting and illuminating, eerie and sincere.”—Martin Seay, award-winning author of The Mirror Thief“An intriguing, existential mystery, an exploration of an unhappy marriage, and a paranoid science fiction thriller.

It's a gut-punch meditation on the way our brains process mediation, memory, trauma, and grief."—Tex Gresham, author of Sunflower, Heck, Texas, and This Is Strange June"This engrossing and inventive novel entertains on multiple levels. It’s a mind-bending mystery, in which the pursuit of the truth about his wife’s murder threatens the main character’s trust in his powers of perception and his very sense of self. It’s a horror-show-worthy take on corporate ambition, overreach, and villainy."—Beth Castrodale, author of I Mean You No Harm, Marion Hatley and In This Ground“What an original and captivating sci-fi read! I totally loved the real life references and often found myself so intrigued I had to then go search for confirmation and further information.
