A retired group of legendary mercenaries get the band back together for one last impossible mission in this award-winning debut epic fantasy.

"Fantastic, funny, ferocious." -- Sam Sykes

Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best, the most feared and renowned crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.

Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help -- the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.

It's time to get the band back together.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"George R. R. Martin meets Terry Pratchett."―Buzzfeed Books

"
Kings of the Wyld is gritty but not grim. It was a blast to read, from start to finish. The boys are getting the band back together, and woe be to anyone who stands in their way. Magic swords, broken promises, and some of the craziest action you're likely to read this side of the Wyld. Reading this book made me want to grab a sword and set off on an epic quest."―Christopher Paolini

"A fantastic read, a
rollicking, page-turning, edge-of-your-seat road-trip of a book. Great characters, loveable rogues that I genuinely cared about and all manner of fantastical monsters. All spiced with a sly sense of humour that had me smiling throughout. Wonderful."―John Gwynne

"A comedy, an adventure tale, a consideration on growing older, and a sendup of fantasy conventions, all at the same time. It also has heart.
In short: it rocks....I finished this book in one night. If I could, I'd see the tour, and buy the t-shirt. Instead, I'll have to content myself with waiting for the sequel, and reading it again."―B&N SF & Fantasy Blog

"Brilliant debut novel... Eames has cranked the thrills of epic fantasy up to 11... Moreover, the plot is
emotionally rewarding, original, and hilarious. Eames clearly set out to write something fun to read, and he has succeeded spectacularly."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Fantastic, funny, ferocious. Hugely recommended. Read it now."―
Sam Sykes

"
Absolutely awesome. If the Beatles held a concert tomorrow (with all the necromancy required for that to happen), it still wouldn't be as good a 'getting the band back together' story as this. Full of heroes, humor, and heart."―Jon Hollins

"Nicholas Eames brings
brazen fun and a rock & roll sensibility to the fantasy genre."―Sebastien de Castell

"
A fantastic epic fantasy! Just the right smidgen of tongue-in-cheek to work wonderfully. Go read."―Django Wexler

"An absolutely outstanding debut . . . [It has]
all the heart and passion that great fantasy can bring in the hands of a master."―Myke Cole

"
Kings of the Wyld took me back to my Dungeons and Dragons days. It has well-crafted characters long past their best but still fighting, non-stop fantasy action and welcome touches of humor. Great reading!"―Ian Irvine

"A promising, fast-paced debut that balances classic quest fantasy with modern sensibilities and liberal doses of humor. Huzzah!"―
Alex Marshall

"An outstanding debut which will make you laugh and cry and hold your breath.
This is a book that has it all."―K. J. Parker

"Escapism of my favorite type - noble quests, edge-of-the-seat action, and well-rounded, likeable characters that carve out their own unique definition of "family". If you like your fantasy gritty and your humor dark, then
this is the next book for you."―Forbidden Planet

"Nicholas Eames is the voice of modern fantasy."―
Michael R. Fletcher

"Eames' debut fantasy tale has it all....
Readers will not be able to put this book down."―Booklist (starred review)

"Mercenaries get the rock star treatment in this funny, heart-filled epic fantasy."―
Book Riot

Giants and Trents and Orcs, oh my!
So, Kings of the Wyld.. Where to start?I suppose I will start by saying that this is the first book I felt compelled to write a review for. Not that I haven't read many good books; I have. Not that this book is in dire need of more champions; It isn't. But for a plethora of reasons that you will soon find out, should you pick up a copy and read it.I had heard good things about this book all over the internet but mostly from the Fantasy-Faction Facebook group.While all the praise certainly buoyed my confidence in my purchase, while browsing in the bookstore it was the amazing Richard Anderson cover that snapped the money out of my wallet and slapped it onto the counter at check-out.It was said to be a fun, fun book. A book with great action scenes and better characters. One that took inspiration (and attitude) from the author's newfound love of classic rock. Bands like RUSH, Led Zeppelin, The Who and Neil Young were an inspiration. It was said to have moments of great sadness and beauty. Maybe most of all, it was said to be a book that had an awful lot of heart.I am here to reassure you that it is all of those things, yet so much more.In a genre (mostly) stuck in the age of grimdark, KotW is a sweeping, veritable hurricane of crisp, wondrous fresh air.I love this book. I can tell you without doubt, that I will be enjoying it for years to come.I would recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in fantasy. I would urge it upon the fantasy fanatic. I will be buying a second copy for my shelf and lending the one I read to any friends whose mouths I can manage to pry open and force it down. The thing is though, I doubt I will need to. I have a good feeling that they will willingly gobble it down in a few large bites and enjoy it (almost) as much as I did.Buy this book.-SPOILERS BELOW-......................RIP Dane and Gregor. I will forever remember your childlike wonder and your beautiful heart.

  • Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018
    This is a book that friends have been recommending to me for some time, and it wasn’t hard to tell why. It’s a really wonderful thing when a novel achieves basically everything it set out to do – while I love epic fantasy, sometimes I crave a yarn that is a little less ambitious – something where I don’t have to bust out a wall full of notes and strings to keep track of what the heck is going on and who everyone is.

    That’s not to say that Eames hasn’t written something pretty special, because it’s great. Kings of the Wyld is a story that can be enjoyed by all, but my instinct is that he wrote it specifically for slightly older fantasy veterans who will literally yawn themselves to death if they have to read one more farm-boy-is-the-chosen-one coming of age story. Here what we have is a bunch of tired, grizzled old dudes who used to be a pretty big deal getting back together out of necessity. In this world, bands of mercenaries are like rock stars, and our protagonists used to be the very biggest. And that past tense is very important – since the members of SAGA retired to settle down, raise kids, etc. a whole new generation of Merc bands have risen up, and our boys aren’t quite what they used to be. They’re mostly old, or curmudgeonly, or fat, or drunk, or some combination of those things.

    So one thing I was expecting was a boatload of classic rock references, and I was surprised to find that while they were frequent, they didn’t do much to draw attention to themselves. If you’re a fan of classic rock you’ll love it, they’re great fun – if you’re not, you probably won’t even notice the majority of them and it’s fun regardless. Rather than a gimmick (which is what I was anticipating, and I’m pleased to have been dead wrong), it’s a part of the story’s character – and while the main plot is very simple, it’s extremely well written. Clay and Gabriel set out to collect the remaining members of the band on their way to rescue Gabriel’s daughter. They have a bunch of encounters and a few spanners thrown in the works along the way, but ultimately it doesn’t really get much more complicated than that. I see people asking for straightforward adventures like this *all the time*, so if you’re one such person I strongly advise checking it out.

    While the plot is simple, the characterization is anything but. Eames has done a tremendous job of making his characters feel real, each one lovable but with feelings and motivations and a strong voice of their own. There’s comedy for sure, Clay’s grumpy and sarcastic nature taking center stage, but there’s also tragedy. Moog is possibly the funniest character, but his backstory is heartbreaking and he is heavily driven by it. The banter is impressive, hilariously funny without ever feeling contrived, and very much rooted in deep fraternal love. And there are moments of poignancy that occasionally knocked me for six. Add to this some wonderful side characters and sparkling dialogue and I’d say that this is the novel’s greatest strength.

    There’s some good solid worldbuilding throughout, though it isn’t the main focus of the novel and serves more as a backdrop to the fun than a reason to read it. The prose is light and pleasing, and the pacing hits that sweet spot of trundling along at a nice clip without any major lulls. I’d be hard pressed to think of anyone who wouldn’t find it an entirely likeable and pleasant read – my feeling is that those who don’t enjoy it will have perhaps bought into the hype a little too hard or built up some expectations that weren’t met.

    For the rest of you, shine on you crazy diamonds.

    I loved this first novel of a new series. It hits many right notes, including a vivid and humorous story, briskly told, and boasts lively characters.

    I think what made this one stand out for me was, firstly, a protagonist that isn't a teenager! Nothing wrong with the coming-of-age-destined-to-save-the-world trope, of course, save that it's been done so often that it's virtually a genre of its own by now. But being a reader of a certain age, once in a while I find it marvelously refreshing to peruse a novel that grants mature heroes a chance to shine. Also, to read a tale where experience and wisdom and insight are valued. And it's an interesting, creative twist to have the protagonist NOT be the "front man;" to have him not be the guy who throws the ring into Mount Doom, or the guy who kills Darth Vader. It makes for some fun and fascinating group dynamics.

    There's much to like here. The rock band-inspired structure of the adventuring groups -- and their parallel to our celebrity culture -- is fun and original. There's wry humor aplenty, and quite a few nods, subtle and less so, to some of the great fantasy books and movies of the past. Readers with a background in old tabletop D&D will find a comfortable home in these pages -- the monsters, in particular, read as if they walked right out of the old 3rd Edition Monster Manual. The plot generally moves swiftly, and is compellingly high-stakes.

    If there are weaknesses, they're slight. I might wish for a bit more time spent on worldbuilding; what's there is inventive and interesting, but the world is painted briefly, in quick, simple strokes ... I'd love more detail. Similarly, I'd like a little more character insight into some of the cast. Some are drawn in detail, but a few that I'd love to know better are but lightly sketched. I wished, while reading it, that there was a bit more female representation in this story, but the sequel gives us some utterly fabulous, strong women, so that wish was granted in the second volume.

    A nod to the publisher, too; so many debut novels I read now aren't well supported, and it's painfully obvious in the poor quality of the text. Debut novels are often riddled with copy-editing errors -- to the point where it's clear no human actually read the final draft! But this is a well-crafted, clean draft, without misspellings, wrong or absent words, incomplete sentences, or any of the other legion of errors that so often tear me out of whatever tale I'm reading.

    Recommended.

    I recently heard about this book through a YouTube video and thought I would check it out. I went to Amazon, pulled up the description and did a free read before purchasing.
    Fantasy/Romance is my usually "genre" so I knew going into this it would be different. (I'm not a Brandon Sanderson fan, so if you are into high/epic fantasy, this may not be the book for you.)
    But honestly, I loved it. I spent two days reading it and couldn't put it down.
    Nicholas gives just the right amount of details when needed, and doesn't overload the reader with things that don't matter in his world.
    It has a great map, so you know where the characters are traveling, he digs into their emotions, so we understand their wounds, their flaws, and not just the what, but the why's behind their actions.
    And I can not stress this enough, there is plenty of humor involved.
    If you are looking for a one of a kind, (well, at least I have never heard of another book like this,) that is funny, filled with action, conflict and tension, this is definitely the book for you.
    I read over a hundred books a year, and this book has made it all the way to number 2 on my list for 2024.
    Great book, great find, and I'm awaiting the arrival of book 2 in this series as we speak.
    And hey Nicholas, if you read these comments, I would love to be a beta reader for you.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 3, 2024
    This was just a delight to read; a very interesting plot, nuanced and relatable characters, and humorous without trying hard. Loved the different perspective on the “hero” tale(s) and really appreciated the bits of lore dropped throughout the plot, which did so much to build out the world and communicate the characters’ voices. I will be recommending this to anyone who will listen (and very specifically to those who play TTRPGs, as I know there are plenty of references they’ll definitely appreciate).

    Reviewed in Brazil on March 1, 2020
    Kings of the Wyld is a book about a band of mercenaries that have to get back together. At first, I'm not gonna lie, i wasn't really enjoying it. I thought it would be a "serious" fantasy book....Yeah, I was wrong.

    This book is just Fun. I wouldn't say it took itself too seriously, but it never meant to. Absurd things happened, and the book acknowledged that it was absurd, and it was really funny. It's a lighthearted fantasy with amazing characters that i fell in love with. Moments that made me laugh out loud.

    I will say it's not a perfect book. The beginning had a lack of description that for me was just frustrating. But in general, It's a great book. You can't not love it - If you know what you're getting into - Just don't expect it to be ASOIAF type of fantasy, and enjoy the book for what it is!

    Reviewed in Spain on October 17, 2020
    Normalmente, evito las ediciones inglesas de tapa blanda ya que, por algún motivo (supongo que para incentivar la compra de la tapa dura), les gusta reducir la fuente a unos tamaños incómodos como en el caso de los libros de Joe Abercrombie. Pero en este caso, estoy más que contento con esta versión.

    Y qué pedazo de portada tiene el maldito libro.

    Si quieres saber la calidad de la historia del libro, creo que este no es el sitio, ve a Goodreads o mírate algún vídeo en Youtube.
