Plum Parrot

The unlikely hero of Fanwath prepares to take things to a whole new level in the action-packed sixth installment of this thrilling fantasy adventure.

When he was first torn from his Earthly home, Victor Sandoval was as good as dead, alone and powerless in a reality where kills equal skills and losing a fight means losing your life. But he’s much more than who he used to be.

Now a warrior of near-legendary status and strength, Victor is leading his very own army into the Untamed Marches, where countless hordes of horrors await. This means more Energy and treasure for him and his allies when they go up against a slew of undead, reavers, and good old-fashioned bloody vampires.

And that’s the fun part. Because Victor is about to face an opponent who already claims the Marches as his Prince Hector of Heart Rot. And while his name may seem silly to Victor, the prince’s desire to slaughter him along with his entire army is about to become all too serious . . .
