Flank Hawk by Terry W. Ervin II

Gryphonwood is pleased to announce the release of Flank Hawk: A First Civilization's Legacy Novel by Terry W. Ervin II. Ervin's novel is an intriguing blend of epic fantasy, military fiction, and even a bit of zombies thrown in for good measure. Here's a little more about Flank Hawk:

What happens when fire-breathing dragons battle Stukas for aerial supremacy over a battlefield? Can an earth wizard's magic defeat a panzer? Krish, a farmhand turned mercenary, witnesses this and much more as he confronts the Necromancer King's new war machines resurrected from before the First Civilization's fall. Worse yet, a wounded prince tasks Krish to find the fabled Colonel of the West and barter the royal family's malevolent Blood-Sword for a weapon to thwart the Necromancer King's victory. Flank Hawk is set in the distant future where magic exists and brutish ogres are more than a child's nightmare.

Here's what others had to say about Flank Hawk:

“Flank Hawk’s characters skewer you on page one, then the plot kicks your butt! Grab hold! Ervin's got the magic!”
--C, Dean Andersson, author of the Bloodsong Trilogy

“A curious blend of epic fantasy, modern techno-thriller and non-stop action-adventure, Flank Hawk is a compelling and original tale of a brave young mercenary pitched in deadly magical combat against the undead techno-armies of the Necromancer King. Whether you like swashbuckling wizardry, fierce dragon battles, modern military hardware or sword-slashing zombie mayhem, Flank Hawk has it all.”
--Erica Hayes, author of the Shadowfae Chronicles

“Creative genius takes many forms, Flank Hawk ... stretches fantasy and speculative science fiction to new levels as beasts, magic, Nazi war technology and superhuman beings combine in one well-crafted tale. Flank Hawk is a must read!”
--D. S. Sault, author of The Last Human War

“This book has it all: Nazis, zombies, angels, elementals...It's Army of Darkness meets Lord of the Rings. Buy it or chalk it up on that long list of things you regret not doing!”
--Stephen Hines, author of Hocus Focus
