The Battle that was Lost (Ringlander)

This stabby nominated, SPFBO7 semi-finalist The Ringlander Series is a fast-paced, epic fantasy adventure full of games, grit and magic.

When there is something you can't or won't do yourself, you get a bastard to do it for you. They are thieves, cheats, and murderers, loyal to nothing but the coin. Everyone knows that.

Yet in war, payment in blood is more likely than payment in coin.

Staegrim knows coins better than he knows people, and he isn't giving his life away for free. Not to the rebels, not for the lords, and not for all of the bloody coins in Rengas.

But then... Everyone has a price.

Michael became a writer to explore, worlds, words and people. Throw in a love of all things science and the Ringlander universe was the inevitable outcome.When not writing, or thinking about writing Michael spends time with family, plays drums, designs, codes and fights off the little voice that beckons him constantly to sit down and do nothing.
