Description
In seven years, the Vengeful One will come. He'll shatter the world of Ethasar into pieces. And none of the gods are strong enough to stop him.
Their only chance is for one god to wield all their powers. The other six must die. And so, Ethasar’s seven kingdoms clash in a great war that will decide the fates of their gods.
When her king is murdered by an enemy spy, Frida, a brave and skilled pirate captain, leads the seafaring Islanders to war. Days later, a treacherous captain sinks half her fleet and allies himself with the vampire queen. With her forces greatly weakened, Frida must prevail over fierce orcs and powerful giants, chivalrous knights and bloodthirsty vampires, elusive desert assassins, and the legions of an ancient empire. If she fails, the sea god dies.
War of the Seven is perfect for fans of David Estes, John Gwynne, and Brandon Sanderson. Blending together epic fantasy and powerful music, the book includes nine original songs set in the realms of Ethasar. Start your epic adventure today.
Advance Praise
“Filled with magic, battles, and end-of-the-world stakes” – David Estes, #1 bestselling author of Fatemarked and Kingfall.
War of the Seven by Brad Towers is everything you should expect of a sprawling epic fantasy tale: imaginative, bloody, its pages filled with magic, battles, and end-of-the-world stakes. As soon as I finished the first book in the series, I was ready for the second. By reading War of the Seven, be prepared for the following symptoms: shock, lack of sleep, the random urge to release a battle cry, and the temptation to sneak a peek at the book hiding in your lap during important work meetings. If you love unique world building, stories told from multiple points of view, and magic, you'll love this book! -- David Estes, #1 Amazon bestselling author of Fatemarked and Kingfall

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!
War Of The Seven by Brad Towers is a truly amazing read that pulls you into the world of Ethasar right from the start. The depth and richness of this fantastical world are stunning, and the original music included in the book makes it even more special.
The story is about a huge conflict where the fate of the gods and their kingdoms is at stake. One of the best parts of this book is the nine original songs that come with it. They add a unique touch and help recap key moments in the story, making the whole experience more immersive.
War Of The Seven strikes a perfect balance between being epic and easy to follow. It avoids the common problems of overwhelming information. Each chapter is clear and relevant, with smooth transitions and memorable characters, making it easy to stay engaged.
The different factions in Ethasar are all fascinating, especially the vampire nation. While I initially thought the vampires would be my favorite, I ended up loving all the factions because of their great characters and storylines. The gradual introduction of the factions and the helpful visual aids, like the crossed-out names, make it easy to keep track of everything.
The book honors traditional epic fantasy elements while adding its own unique flair. The female characters are strong and well-developed, and the story keeps you hooked from start to finish.
Overall, War Of The Seven is a fantastic epic fantasy. Brad Towers has created an incredible world with unforgettable characters and an engaging plot. This is hands down the best fantasy novel I've read this year, and I can't wait for the sequel. A solid 5/5 stars! This series is bound to become a favorite among fans of epic fantasy.

This has pretty basic fantasy concepts but also manages to feel really unique which I always love because you get something that's a mix of comfortable and also fresh!
Honestly I was roped in as soon as I read Pirate Captain x vampire queen and I was not disappointed. The worldbuilding is immersive and all encompassing and I love the addition of the original music!
This story is epic and high stakes but also an easy read, sometimes I find high fantasy can feel like you're getting bogged down so this still felt fun. There's a perfect balance between likable characters, epic plot and great worldbuilding
