The One They Fear is The Hero They Need


Sorcery is dying out. No one misses it.

Until a new god arrives in Dalriya. Unstoppable, Ezenachi brings only conquest and slavery. Sorcery is dying out, and now Dalriya needs a sorcerer more than ever.

Feared and despised in equal measure, Sanc is only tolerated because he’s the son of the powerful Duke of Morbaine. But Sanc is more important than he knows. When there is an attempt on his life, he is forced to confront his true inheritance. Trained by the enigmatic sorcerer Rimmon, he has more questions than answers about his place in the world.

Sanc's brother Peyre knows nothing of magic. When he is exiled to the empire he meets Liesel, the beautiful daughter of the late emperor. He desperately wants to help her. But her brother is unstable. His minister is predatory and violent. And the witch, Inge, has her claws in them all.


An Inheritance of Ash and Blood is the first book in the Heirs of War series. If you love riveting coming of age journeys, rich worldbuilding, political intrigue, brutal medieval battles, and dark sorcery, start Jamie Edmundson's new series today!

Heirs of War

THE HEIRS OF WAR SERIES

Heirs of War is an epic fantasy trilogy with riveting coming of age character journeys, reminiscent of Wheel of Time and the Belgariad, and expansive worldbuilding compared with A Song of Ice and Fire.

Sanc, a duke's son with red eyes, is confronted with a twisted inheritance when he learns sorcerous power flows through his veins.

Replete with political intrigue and brutal battles, Heirs of War conjures a medieval inspired fantasy world where magic costs, is hated, and yet offers the only hope against an unstoppable invasion.

Begin the series with An Inheritance of Ash and Blood, a Readers' Favorite 2023 award winner in Epic Fantasy.

    When I started reading, I wasn't sure that I was going to enjoy the book. (Keep in mind that it wasn't the book, but me not being sure the book would appeal to my personal preferences.) However, I continued to read, and I am so glad I did. The story was very well written, with plenty of action, drama, well developed characters, and even a hint of romance here and there. I definitely recommend it to those who desire a well written storyline, with well built characters, and plenty of on the edge of your seat action.

    Good character development and interesting storyline. Chapters switch to follow different supporting characters. I found myself anxious to get back to the main protagonist. Magic overwhelmingly favors bad guys in this first book.

    An Inheritance of Ash and Blood: A Coming of Age Epic Fantasy (Heirs of War Book 1), my second read from author Jamie Edmundson. An enjoyable, well-written fantasy tale. I look forward to reading more from this author. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Aaron Smith’s narration adds to the book’s enjoyment. I look forward to reading A Crucible of Fire and Steel (Heirs of War Book 2), the next book in the series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

    4.0 out of 5 stars Ash and Blood
    Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2025
    Overall, I enjoyed this fantasy adventure. We follow this story mostly through the eyes of our heroes, two nephews of the king, who teach us a lot about the politics and alliances in this medieval world. However, the pace was a little slow due to this.

    Sanc is hated/feared by the people because of his red eyes and sorcery. Though I felt sorry for him, I couldn't really connect with him, I felt kept at a distance, which may or may not be the intention. I preferred Peyre, his older brother. I felt like he grew a bit through his journey and I am hoping that he finds his love in the next book. We also get some chapters from Liesel, the only redeemable member of a horrible family, hoping to be the next ruling one, which gives us some insight into the 'other side'.

    We are learning about the world in this first book, and so it felt like it had less action, which will hopefully pick up in the next book. I will be continuing the series to see if Esterel will be the great king everyone thinks he'll be, I'm starting to have my doubts...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dalriya is a place reminiscent of Westeros. With all the political intrigue, just not as grim.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2022
    We follow Sanc's family. He's the son of a duke and nephew to the king of Guivergne. It is primarily a coming-of-age story, but not something I would suggest for a YA audience. With war as the book's central theme, the characters are forced to hastily grow and resort to previously inconceivable measures to keep their loved ones safe.

    The book includes a helpful Dramatis Personae at the beginning, but I suggest you take advantage of the maps available on the author's page to keep track of the complex world he has created.

    I had no idea of the scope of this tale, but I'm certain Edmundson has more surprises in the saga that I would gladly dive into.

    Plot lines I had no desire to follow, skipped chapters to get to the main character. Not interested in any further books since it seems this is the way book 2 will be as well. Maybe there will be cliff notes if I remember to look and see what happened to the main character. Tho, at this point I really don’t care.

    I loved this book. Haven't read this author before & I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well written with good English, always a winner for me. I liked the characters, they were interesting & of course there is a dog! So, I've now bought books 2 & 3. Read them I'm directly will enjoy the characters as much as I am.
