Warbringer by Aaron Hodges

★★★★★ "Great start to a new series! Interesting characters and a unique storyline set in a world that begs to be explored or in this case survived. Definitely worth checking out!"

Centuries ago, the world fell.
From the ashes rose a terrible new species—the Tangata.
Now they wage war against the kingdoms of man. And humanity is losing.

Fresh from the military academy, twenty-year-old Lukys marches south to where the Tangata are massing on the frontier. The allied armies of humanity will do anything to halt the enemy advance—including throwing untested men and women into the heat of battle. Determined to survive, Lukys seeks aid from the only man who seems to care: Romayn, the last warrior of an fallen kingdom.
 

Meanwhile, the Queen's Archivist leads an expedition deep into the earth, seeking the secrets of the Gods. Their magic was lost to humanity eons ago, but a handful of artifacts remain, objects of power that could turn the tide of the war. But it may not be salvation that waits beneath the surface. Something else slumbers in the darkness. Something old. Something evil.

Immerse yourself in this sweeping military fantasy novel, a masterful fusion of The Shannara Chronicles and the enchanting worlds of Brandon Sanderson. Written by acclaimed New York Times Bestselling Author Aaron Hodges, this complete epic fantasy series delves into a realm of swords, sorcery, and epic battles that will leave you captivated from start to finish.
