From Philip C. Quaintrell, author of the popular fantasy series ‘The Echoes Saga’:

'For lovers of your classic Tolkien, this series has it all' - Alan Coleman - Amazon customer

'Best newcomer to the genre. Philip is up there with Feist and Sanderson' - Philip Spick - Amazon customer

Monsters breed legends… and legends breed monsters. This is the way of things. This is the way of the Ranger.

Turned from the path of the assassin, Asher roams the world no better than a nomad, with naught to offer but his sword and grit. But woe betide the monster that believes his sword and grit will not be enough…

In a twisted chance of fate, the brash actions of Doran Heavybelly — a dwarven hunter with a lot to say — forces Asher back into the world of man. And so the ranger is brought into the light, into the gaze of Illian’s greatest crime guilds and onto the lawless island of Dragorn.

A deal must be made, and with a creature far worse than any of the fiends Asher has put to his sword. To save those who cannot save themselves, the ranger must choose between his life and theirs. Should he make such a deal, 'tis not his life that would be forfeit but the man he has worked so hard to become.

In the end, it will all come down to blood and coin…
--

''The Echoes Saga' demonstrates a simple commitment to the power of story' - Stephen Dudley - Amazon customer

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Philip C. Quaintrell is the author of the epic fantasy series, The Echoes Saga, as well as the Terran Cycle sci-fi series. He was born in Cheshire in 1989 and started his career as an emergency nurse.

Having always been a fan of fantasy and sci-fi fiction, Philip started to find himself feeling frustrated as he read books, wanting to delve into the writing himself to tweak characters and storylines. He decided to write his first novel as a hobby to escape from nursing and found himself swept away into the world he'd created. Even now, he talks about how the characters tell him what they're going to do next, rather than the other way around.

With his first book written, and a good few rejected agency submissions under his belt, he decided to throw himself in at the deep end and self-publish. 2 months and £60 worth of sales in, he took his wife out to dinner to celebrate an achievement ticked off his bucket list - blissfully unaware this was just the beginning.

Fast forward 12 months and he was self-publishing book 1 of his fantasy series (The Echoes Saga; written purely as a means to combat his sci-fi writers' block). With no discernible marketing except the 'Amazon algorithm', the book was in the amazon bestsellers list in at least 4 countries within a month. With 7 of 9 books released, the Echoes Saga has now surpassed 300k copies sold worldwide, has an option agreement for a potential TV-series in the pipeline and Amazon now puts Philip's sales figures in the top 1.8% of self-published authors worldwide.

Now an official 'Full-Time Author', Philip lives in Cheshire, England with his wife and toddler son. He still finds time between naps and wiping snot off his clothes to remain a movie aficionado and comic book connoisseur, and is hoping this is still just the beginning.

Blood and Coin is in every aspect of this exceptional book!

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

This second book in the trilogy is an absolute thrill ride from beginning to end. The way that Doran and the Stormshields are introduced into Asher's environment is very important to both sides of his identity. The Ranger in him needs the family aspect that the Stormshield family offer. But so does the beasties! The Assassin inside of Asher needs the carnage that Victor Varga offers. I loved every minute of this book because it encompasses all. Adventure, monsters, dwarfs, and finally family and friendship. Absolute genius!! I cannot wait for the next book, A Dance of Fang and Claw. The title sounds very interesting and hopefully we'll see more of Doran.

As always, Phillip has the making of another fantastic series in the works. I have read all his series thus far and I'm thrilled that he is going more in depth with one of the main characters- Asher -from his previous series. Also, that it includes other characters from those series and we get more information on how they all came to be together. It's almost like a pre-quel to his other series. But I'm never one to give a review and tell the story like others do, but it's a great read so pick it up and find out for yourself.

It's a great prequel to the ranger series. Asher is an awesome character going from a "cold emotionless" assassin to becoming a ranger trying to atone for his past. Hes learning what it is to be a good person and just a killer. I truly love the books so far. Kinda disappointed with the portrayal of Doran Heavybelly in the beginning. Always thought dwarves were more bad ass but loved how he makes mistakes just like regular people lol. Honestly only disappointment I have is i wish books were done so I could read them all

If you are like me and enjoy escaping to a world with swords, horses, monsters, mythical characters, and a bit-o-magic this is the series for you! Meeting Asher on his quest to right his many past wrongs in this prequel series makes the first two series all the more gratifying. The entire Rangers Saga is the best treat you can give yourself or a friend.

I am a super fan! I am a Quaintrellian no doubt!

A gem, as always.

Another wonderful entry into the life of the ranger Asher. It has been a great experience seeing this world expand and learn more about the characters within. If you are a fan of epic, well fleshed out world building, look no further. Cannot wait for the next book! Hands down one of my favorite authors, Quaintrell is an up and comer in league with Sanderson & Jordan in my humble opinion.

Deeper into the background of one of my favorite characters ever

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2022

Verified Purchase

Not every writer can pull it off, but Philip Quaintrell managed to squeeze this out in less than a year from the last installment of The Ranger Archives and it's just as well-written and structured as any of his other entries from Verda. This is becoming one of my favorite sagas ever. I have to pace myself to make the joy last as long as possible. I only hope he keeps this going for years to come, it's a phenomenal series.

Philip C. Quaintrell does it again!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2022

Another amazing book from the mind of Quaintrell! I cannot get enough of his writing. It takes me to a land I dreamed of as a child but could never articulate. The writing draws you in and the story never lets you go. I hope this young writer continues to allow us to experience his craft until he is a very old man. The world will be better for it!

I am in withdrawal, I need the next book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

I cannot praise Philip Cantrell highly enough. He is one of my favourite authors and he is a first class storyteller. The world and the characters are all so detailed and engaging. I don't believe that anyone who has read these books has not grown to love the characters, especially the fact that they are all complex and have many shades of grey layers.
I don't write many reviews, because I want to start reading the next book. I would recommend all these books to anyone who enjoys a great story and complicated characters.
My only complaint is that I will have to wait to read the next book! Once I finish this trilogy I will re-read the other 9 books again. I have read them all 3 times in the last few years and will enjoy them all again.
So, thank you Mr Quaintrell, for sharing you wonderfully written and extremely enjoyable stories with me.
I hope that you are rewarded for your work and get fame and riches too.
Thank you for writing a series of books that I can read over and over again and never get bored of. The world is so very detailed and rich with history, races (like elves and dwarves) and legendary
heroes. Also, side stepping the usual tropes, like a young man or woman who has hidden parentage and their heroes journey with a cast of the usual characters to guide them. When they become the hero they discover they are royalty or super powerful magic wielder.

Gladiator on steroids

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

Gladiator on steroids! Asher has now fully embraced being a Ranger, you find out later in the book that 4 years have passed. Through a bit of a convoluted story arc he ends up being a "gladiator", as part of that whole deal he's had to reveal that he is Arakesh to sweeten the deal. I actually expected that from that part forward Asher would be pitted against monsters but that never really happens. I won't put in any spoilers but suffice to say that there is a bit concerning a blue scarf that doesn't make any sense but read it & see what I mean, it's just basically impossible for that "reveal" to have not happened before.
Good fast paced & worthy of a read but I'm guessing that this is a multi book 'ology, beyond at least yet to be written No.3, so not sure if I would read a whole lot more.

"Enter the Dwarf..."

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

Just finished book 2 this morning. The truth is I don't rush through Philip's books. I don't take ages to read them either!

At this point, having read all of The Echoes Saga (9 beautifully crafted books made up of 3 distinct, but interwoven, trilogies which can be read as stand-alone or as a whole and still be brilliant!) and the first book of The Ranger Archives, re-entering the world of Verda is both nostalgic, like visiting an old friend, and exciting; Blood & Coin explores a previously less developed storyline in the protagonist (Asher)'s past, and location in the criminal island of 'Dragorn.' With a consistency I've come to expect from Philip, he's done it all so, so well.

Philip's consistent and insightful character development and pacing subtly (like an Arakesh?) sneak up on you and thrust you deep into the story. If you're like me, once you're there you'll see--it's a great place to be!

Excellent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2022

I thoroughly enjoyed "The Echoes Saga" as it had the depth, vision and grandeur of a modern day "Lord if the Rings" trilogy .
"The Ranger Archives" continues to provide great story without merely repeating events from "The Echoes Saga". Story, characters (good and bad) and fight scenes all combine to make this second book in "The Ranger Archives" worthy of your attention and your money.
Since I cut my fantasy teeth on LOTR all those years ago, I have been searching for another author who excites me in the same way.

An excellent addition to the series.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

I loved the first series so much that the moment I finished the books, I re read them all again. They quickly became one of my favourite fantasy series. This new one is a great addition and a great continuation of the Rangers Archives. Asher is a great character and this book focuses more on the warring of assassin and ranger, giving the reader even more of an insight to the Asher that we see in the Echoes Saga. I love the characters around Asher as well, enjoying reading how he met his friend Doran and how their friendship develops. If there’s a niggle, I’d say it would be nice now and then to have a quick fight of one sentence rather than every single blow by blow account written out, but it’s a small niggle and the fight scenes are excellently written so it’s not a hardship to read them.
Can’ t wait for the last in the trilogy. I’m off to re read Echoes Saga now -again.
