“WHAT THEY FORESEE WILL SHATTER THIS AGE
In his vision, colossal artifacts stride across his homeland, destroying everything in their path. In a desperate attempt to save his home, Mage Prince Phytiax heads to the wild north in search of allies. On his journey, his magical powers become damaged at the worst possible time, and his destined allies need to be saved before they can help him: Pino, the weakest Mage of all time and wielder of a mysterious artifact sword; Emilai, a kidnapped noblewoman—turned Witch to fight her captors; and Cordin, an old Light Master wanted for murder, but dead-set on getting his life back. With the brutal and mysterious force invading and destabilizing the kingdoms around them, will his potential allies help or hinder him? And even if they save their homelands, the price might be worse than they ever imagined.”
Though the exciting fourth book in the epic fantasy Artifact War Series is available new readers should begin with the Doomsayer Prince, Omnibus edition. Want to know more? Read the article.

Unfolding the series
Click image for large version.
The Artifact War Series is not about one person as there are several main characters: Phytiax, Pino, Emilai, the Pyramid King, and others. But it is about one thing…or two if you like.
As the plot races across the continent of Gaia, you’ll see that all the dots connect to Rulturo, an ancient omen prophet, and The End War which he prophesized (hint: this is the title of the last book.)
The End War
According to Rulturo’s prophecies, armies of ancient titan-sized artifact beings will be brought back to life…to destroy all of humanity.
Throughout the series, the lands of Gaia get involved in the machinations of the sinister Pyramid King. At first, he gathers his grand army of titan artifact beings, and later this leads to a desperate fight for survival, as war engulfs every corner of creation. All is lost unless the heroes find a way to stop the Pyramid King.
The beginning
In book one, Doomsayer Prince, we meet Mage Prince Phytiax. A young prince whose visions warn of an impending invasion of his homeland. We’re also introduced to the other main characters who’ll play a part in saving—or dooming—everyone.
The Artifact War Series is for anyone who loves classic epic fantasy. At the same time, it’s a fresh take on many fantasy tropes and the epic subgenre. If you enjoyed the Lord of the Rings and/or Game of Thrones, it’s a good bet you’ll like it.
The story is not meant for children. Adults and older teenagers who like fantasy (like someone who just finished reading Harry Potter) will find it quite an enjoyable journey.
