#1 BESTSELLER IN THREE CATEGORIES
Book 1 of the completed Paternus Trilogy
Described as American Gods meets The Avengers and Supernatural meets The Lord of the Rings, Paternus combines myths from around the world in a modern story of action and intrigue that is “urban fantasy on the surface, but so much more at its core!”
“Epic, innovative urban fantasy. A great read!” –Mark Lawrence, Gemmell Award Winner and international bestselling author of Prince of Thorns and Red Sister
“Wow! Ashton’s story is a crucible in which myths are melted and remade to thrilling effect.” –M. R. (Mike) Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts and the Felix Castor series
Even myths have legends. And not all legends are myth.
When a local hospital is attacked by strange and frightening men, Fiona Patterson and Zeke Prisco save a catatonic old man named Peter—and find themselves running for their lives with creatures beyond imagination hounding their every step.
With nowhere else to turn, they seek out Fi’s enigmatic Uncle Edgar. But the more their questions are answered, the more they discover that nothing is what it seems—not Peter, not Edgar, perhaps not even themselves.
The gods and monsters, heroes and villains of lore—they’re real. And now they’ve come out of hiding to hunt their own. In order to survive, Fi and Zeke must join up with powerful allies against an ancient evil that’s been known by many names and feared by all. The final battle of the world’s oldest war has begun.
*****
“Terrific! Paternus is intelligent, intricate, suspenseful, and epic.” –Nicholas Eames, Gemmell Award winning author of Kings of the Wyld and Bloody Rose
“Paternus is an imaginative, exhilarating ride. A refreshing take on contemporary fantasy.” –Anthony Ryan, NYT Bestselling author of Blood Song and The Legion of Flame
“Probably the most imaginative idea for a fantasy series I've ever encountered. Don't miss this, it's brilliant.” –Alan Grant, Inkpot award winning writer on Batman, Judge Dredd, and Lobo
“A stunning debut. If you're a fan of urban fantasy or mythology in your stories, you MUST give this book a try.” –Booknest.eu
“Ashton is a bloody, terrific genius. The action sequences are truly mind boggling.” –Fantasy Book Critic
“One of my favorite reads of the year.” –Alec Hutson, author of The Crimson Queen
“A war of the gods unlike any you've read!” –Michael R. Fletcher, author of Beyond Redemption
“A wild romp through every religion, myth and culture, uniting them all in some sort of late night urban fantasy pan-dimensional smackdown ... Paternus brings it on.” –Pornokitsch
“An adventure packed riot of action, fast paced and definitely furious.” –Lynn’s Books
*****
