Next, we have two novels releasing for our Tales of Pannithor series, set in the world of Kings of War / Armada / Dungeon Saga / etc by Mantic Games. The first of which is Through Thick and Thin by Mark Barber. This is a sequel to the novel, Pious, by Mark Barber that released around the same time as Mantic’s Armada game. While it is set primarily on the high seas, it still takes place inside the world of Pannithor and has the same feel as the other novels - and readers should not worry about feeling lost in nautical terms. Following on the example set in Pious, the character of Captain Karnon Senne acts as a way for the author to explain nautical terminology without beating the reader over the head with prose.
Following on from the events of Pious, Jaymes Ellias has been promoted to captain and now has the responsibility of a thousand tonne warship and its crew of nearly three hundred souls. He is committed to a relationship where the reality is far more complicated than the romance of the idea. He is learning that the relaxed and approachable nature of a junior leader does not always work as a senior commander. And that was before the East Infant Sea was threatened by another fleet of violent and deadly enemy warships, intent on causing a tidal wave of destruction across Basilean territories.
Caithlin Viconti has had her initial successes as a privateer captain. Now, she and her ship are well known to the pirates she hunts down, and the prizes are fewer and further between. The money is no longer rolling in, and she has debts to pay off and a crew’s wage to honor. If that was not enough, the sudden appearance of her father to criticize all of her recent decisions and actions - both professionally and personally - is less than ideal. And, like Jaymes, this was all before the appearance of a major Ahmunite bone fleet led by a deadly and remorseless high priest from the Empire of Dust.
Jaymes, Caithlin, and their friends and comrades are again propelled into action across the turquoise waters of the sun-drenched East Infant Sea, sailing and fighting beneath the Basilean flag as they face the threats of the Ahmunite undead and pirates in the defense of the Basilean Hegemony as they face the notorious Empire of Dust High Priest T’mork and his fleet of undeath.
The book is in paperback, 288 pages, and contains a black and white sketch of the main protagonists inside.
Releases April 15th, 2025 and is available at all major book retailers.

Last, but certainly not least, we have the other latest Tales of Pannithor release, one that has been eagerly anticipated, Claws on the Plain by James Dunbar. This novel focuses on a band of mercenaries, known as Dargent’s Claws (which, in game terms, would fall under the Kingdoms of Men army - for those interested) as they cross the Ardovikian Plains.
Standing at the precipice of a new era is little comfort to Uslo Dargent, general of the mercenary company Dargent’s Claws. Known to his men as ‘the Silver Cat,’ Uslo’s posting was uneventful during the war, and now, eight months after its end, it is nothing less than utter tedium. Denied a place in the defining conflict of his lifetime, Uslo itches for glory.
Not everything about the war was quite so enviable. The Young Kingdoms of the Plain are devastated, unaided or exploited by the Successor Kingdoms; the roaming Plainsmen of Ardovikia, having fled south to escape the orcish swarm, find themselves trapped beyond the Wall, forced into serfdom for Southern Lords. In a stroke of mutual good fortune, Uslo and the Ardovikians discover that their desires are aligned. The indentured Plainsmen wish for a return to their northern home and will need help crossing the Wall. In exchange, they promise to lead Uslo to something far more valuable than the glories of war – treasures from the age of Primovantor!
The book is in paperback, 325 pages, and contains a black and white map of the location where the novel takes place.
Releases April 15th, 2025 and is available at all major book retailers.

In the meanwhile, consider exploring some recent releases:
The latest of our Chronicles of the Human Sphere novels, set in the world of Corvus Belli’s Infinity, we have By Fire and Sword, by Mark Barber. While it is a sequel to his first Infinity novel, Downfall, this novel also can be read as a standalone.
The Combined Army of the Evolved Intelligence advances steadily across the surface of the planet, seizing territory in bloody campaigns against the divided factions of the Human Sphere. Across the front lines of Norstralia, the forces of PanOceania prepare for a counter offensive.
At the tip of the counter strike are the armored knights of the Military Orders. In command of one such unit is Gabriele De Fersen; an aging veteran of decades of combat, infamous across the Hospitaller Order for the stubborn determination that has brought successes on the battlefield, and the scorn of his superiors off it.
De Fersen and his team are tasked with an objective far behind enemy lines, avoiding the patrols of the Morat Aggression Force that scour PanOceania’s territory to the west of Zulu Point. Striking deep in the heart of the enemy’s infrastructure to prove that humanity is indeed on the offensive is just the beginning of De Fersen’s war against the alien invaders. Backed up by an inexperienced team including Kyle Hawkins, an increasingly reckless young knight who is torn apart by his feelings over the war, and Stanescu, an underperforming combat doctor with his own past and score to settle with the Morats, the vanguard of the Military Orders wage their own war against the brutal alien invaders.
The book is in paperback, 324 pages, and contains a black and white sketch of the main cast of characters.
Released on December 17, 2024 and is available at all major book retailers.
