THE WORLD HAS FALLEN INTO RUIN. MYTH AND LEGEND HAVE PROVEN TRUE. MONSTERS HAVE RETURNED TO ILLIAN.

Orcs, an ancient fiend thought lost to history, have risen from The Under Realm. Their hunger for total dominance has plunged Illian into war, pushing the survivors to Namdhor, the last refuge of man at the top of the world.

For those who stand up to this foe, they do so in darkness. Ash clouds smother the skies, blocking out the sun as the orcs rampage across the land.

Behind it all, manipulating from the shadows, The Black Hand fuels the war on both sides. The Crow, the one who was promised, has seen the future and works in the depths of The Bastion to forge a new weapon, a weapon that can stand against the dark at all costs.

Gideon Thorn is adrift, his order decimated, and his oath to protect the realm meaningless. The Master Dragorn faces his greatest test yet, balancing his duty to the people and his duty to his order.

Inara Galfrey has a choice to make as the realm’s darkest hour approaches. Malliath and Asher cannot be ignored but holding fast to her courage could save the world. It could also spell her end.

Doran Heavybelly finds himself at the throne of his father. There are realms of hell he would rather visit than the halls of his ancestors. Shackled and bound, however, the dwarf has no choice but to face his past…

KINGDOM OF BONES CONTINUES THIS UNMISSABLE EPIC FANTASY SERIES.

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.

A Must Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019

First let me say this Philip Quaintrell has gone above and beyond in Kingdom of Bones. This novel with such great detail has what it takes to pull you in for the begging, meddle an the end. Philip is a genius in the telling. With each battle their with hope. The journey takes through Illian to the Dwarves kingdom with Doran an the Galfreys. Into Namdhor for the fight of their lives. While Alijah is in the hands of The Crow with Asher an Malliath. He has to endure the pain an abuse from all The Crow commands. You feel Alijahs pain deep in your soul.

The spider web of truth an lies puts you on the edge of your set as you journey with each an every character for good or bad they stick together. Who will be there in the end? Will Asher save the day? Will they all work together to end the hell an the future The Crow has thrust on them? Will Alijah come back to those he loves?

This fantasy series is the best I have read so far this year. Philip Quaintrell is a fantasy author in the making, an I for one can't wait to see how far he goes after this series. BRAVO SIR. outstanding work.

Sometimes you….

Sometimes you end up hating the author for the events that unfold in their stories. Invariably, for those books we enjoy, we fall back in love with the author because of their ability to draw on our emotions while engaging in the events that unfold before us. That is the case with this latest chapter in the overall saga, well written, great turns, and I always seemed to be on the edge of my seat.

The echoes saga is a captivating series. The characters are well developed and therefore I find myself becoming emotionally involved and unable to put the book down. Having said that, this book so far is my least favorite and I still couldn’t stop reading it. Thank you Philip for such an engaging and interesting tale! I am on to the next one, book 6!

I'm not kidding , Philip quaintrell is one of the best story tellers I've ever read. Now I'm not a super educated and qualified critic like most of you who post your big long winded reviews and self serving judgments and confusing »pick a part» critiques on Kindle books , no. I'm just a surfer,white trash, General contractor from o.c California that loves to read great stories. And I have stumbled upon the most amazing writers since I found wiess and Hickman -dragonlance as a kid....you have to read the echo saga.you won't be disappointed..he's one of those writers that is so good you forget your reading and you feel like your watching on a movie screen. Every character he brings in , small or big , comes to life.. I just can't wait till 2020 for the 3rd book. Philip , you say you read these , well , 2 things. 1st, thank you for the wonderful stories , you've made me fall in love with reading again at age 48 . And 2cnd , huuuuurrrrryyyy uuuuuuup , I can't wait , dude..... come on , side story , short , sneak peak. Even some quick little gallanor back story. Something, keep it up. Your appreciated.

An excellent continuation

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2021

At this point, I'm so immersed in the story and with the characters that I doubt I'll I'll give any of the books less than 5 stars. One thing that bothers me is the occasional lapse in logic when a magically talented character relies totally on melee style fighting with a weapon, and apparently forgets that they have an option. Otherwise, bring on the next installment

Anyone who likes fantasy, or just a well crafted and well told story, needs to read these books. It's an epic that makes Tolkien's rings saga look tiny. I'm enjoying this as much (pro bably more, if I'm totally honest) than J. R. R Martin's Game Of Thrones. THAT'S how good I think these are!

I cant wait for next week when age of the king comes out ! Super excited. These books are what i love to read about. Magic dragons friends all bonding together to fight for each other and give hope in the darkness. I am sad about Hadavad thou. I would have loved to learn about the ruby and his journey somehow being fulfilled all those years. I hope Alijah is able to get that ruby and use it for good somehow. Anyway. I love your story you are writing a wonderful detailed saga. Cant wait for all 9. And going to find your list of music alot of authors seem to do that and i understand it. I hope you love the world you gave created because i know we do ! Thank you for your imagination. Heather

Having just finished Book 5 I am really enjoying this series. I’ve been a fan of this genre for many years and the Echoes Saga is as compelling as any I’ve ever read. Thanks to the author for giving us the adventure to get lost in!

Classy read, another great boom in a great series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Let's start with a personal truth: for me "Lord of the Rings" by JRR Tolkien IS the definitive 'swords and sorcery' saga and no amount of politically correct rewriting by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh is going to spoil it in my mind (BTW I love films and always will, been going since I was 4 or 5 and still going 60 years later). But you simply cannot beat a well written story.
And now back to Philip's epic series "The Echoes Saga". Here is a story that has been thought about in a truly beautiful way. It's about the story and its telling, rather than just putting out another book for the faithful to buy. It's characters are all flawed in one way or another and the "baddies" are more than one dimensional. I think for someone like me, I want to believe that if life was different from the modern world we live in today, this would be that world ... and I hope that I would find my place in it. Not particularly as any "hero" but as someone who found his place amongst other peoples of similar but varying origins.
I won't suggest you read this book, because if you're reading this review then it's likely you have already read books 1 to 4 and you already want to get to book 9 and see how it all pans out. What I would say is if you have stumbled across this review without reading any of the series, then give book 1 a go. It doesn't matter if you don't generally like the genre, if you like a good read with great characters and plenty of plot twists and turns, then this is for you.

A total page turner

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2021

This series of books are all page turner’s, from the first page you can’t put it down and you need to know what is happening, but Philip leaves you with a chapter on a momentous moment and the next chapter takes you to another of the main characters in a different part of story and then does the same again, he has become one of my favourite writers of science fantasy along with ‘Evan Winter’ and ‘Brandon Sanderson’, we are getting a lot of excellent upcoming young fantasy writers and these books are well worth buying, you won’t regret it.

Another must read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2019

I’m one of those fantasy readers who chews through so many books I neither remember the name of the book I’m currently reading nor those I’ve read. I have a general rule... I don’t start a trilogy until the final installment is due out. I adopt this rule mostly because I don’t want to spend time re-reading a book after a break between releases.

The Echoes of Fate and the Echoes of the Lost are exceptions to my reading habits. Not only do I know the names of all of the books but I am up-to-date with the saga and eagerly anticipating the sixth book. I know, I’m a Quaintrell fanboy.

There’s something about Philip C. Quaintrell’s writing that resonates with me. His character and world building seem to tick every box a geeky fantasy reader like me needs. Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, ‘Gods’, epic battles, fierce duels… I’m not even scratching the surface.

I’m happy that the fantasy genre has a new young and talented writer that has a penchant for the kind of stories I enjoy the most. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his books and I look forward to reading his future work - and you will too!

Lastly, Paying £2-3 for these books is akin to robbery.

The Best Yet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

When I eat out I often choose specific dishes, just as in browsing what to read next I choose certain genres. When a plate of your favourite food is placed in front of you and you take that first taste you know immediately how it compares to all the others you have savoured over the years. I have enjoyed all of Philip's books and kept returning when a new one is published, for I have yet to find a disappointing one, but 'Kingdom of Bones' fits into the Michelin star category. His character development, with clear distinctive voices, scene setting, description, mood creation, language control and plot development have continued to mature and it would be a fussy fantasy reader who wouldn't enjoy this novel. If you haven't tried a Quaintrell before give this one a go - it may be part of a trilogy but you won't find yourself puzzled by what has gone before - and I'm convinced you will become a fan too.

Heartache and Jubilee all in one sitting!

I was honestly heartbroken at the previous trilogy coming to an end. I searched and searched through amazon trying to find another series of books to quench my thirst for dragons as well written as this series does it...and I couldn't find any that sucked me in the same way. And I was miserable for it. And along came the second trilogy and I couldn't get enough of it! I was literally taking a million bathroom breaks at work so I could hide for 5 minutes and get more reading in! Second trilogy is completely on par with the previous one and I couldn't put it down. I thought I could predict the path that this book would've taken but NOPE, I couldn't quite believe what I was reading and I was honestly feeling for each of the characters. Air pumps and excited roars were aplenty. Cant wait to read book 3!
