An epic five-part fantasy series about the uniting of two continents and the wars between them before they must come together to face a terrifying threat
THE FREEING OF THE WORLD
A.M. KNIGHT
Book One of the Union of Man
A generation’s sacrifice freed the world, but everything they’ve done could be undone if the King remains incapable of getting an heir.
A kingdom risks being divided. Plots are hatched to find a successor, and desperate people gamble on crossing the forbidden ocean.
The first of a five-part epic about the uniting of two continents and the wars between them before they must come together to face a terrifying threat.
“CHAPTER ONE
He wasn’t coming back. He wasn’t prepared to face the fear and fanaticism he’d failed to extinguish. He was running away, but on a scale so grand and with a purpose so pure it was impossible for those left behind to doubt him. The ship they’d given him matched his ambitions. Its sails stood as banners to his (supposed) courage.”

THE WAR OF ANNIHILATION
A.M. KNIGHT
Book Two of the Union of Man
Driven into the ocean, the Islanders must voyage into the unknown.
A savage wilderness, new threats, and mountains cloaked in terrifying tales lie ahead. Two continents are about to collide, and it will cause upheaval and devastating loss of life.
With the Plains and Island occupied, the deadliest conflict in history looms. And it will forever change its few survivors.
“An acre of ground was soaked in blood, but he refused to feel any pity or sadness. This was a test of his resolve. And he’d create another version of himself, a version without humanity or compunction, that would suffer, sacrifice, and risk everything in pursuit of the greatness he was predestined for ever since he was lifted up out of the sand.”

THE WAR AT WORLD’S END
A.M. KNIGHT
Book Three of the Union of Man
The mountains that divide Narratheria from the west are shrouded in secrecy. The Islanders must cross over them to find something to even the advantage their enemy always has.
A second war starts. It will be a hateful battle to triumph that snares civilians from all parts.
The cost of victory will be immense, and the Islanders consider releasing an evil worse than the one they left behind in a desperate attempt to win it.
“The fire grew stronger, filled every chamber, and reduced everything to ash. It was a power beyond reckoning. It wasn’t arbitrary or unpredictable like nature but focused, concentrated, and worst of all, capable of being exercised at will.”

THE THREE LEADERS
A.M. KNIGHT
Book Four of the Union of Man
After the two great wars, a period of peace ensues. The public are united by parades and weddings, and it feels like those long-forgotten times when the Islanders and Plainers always had something to celebrate.
But cracks form within an uneasy alliance. Sides who fought side by side in the last war now threaten each other.
To a war-weary public, a third war is unthinkable. But will all the leaders of the world have the conviction to prevent one? Or will the strained relations drift each side into another war?
“This invincible-like figure that had been at the forefront of their lives was now gone. They felt fearful. It wasn’t due to any affection for him, but he existed like the wind and the rain – permanent and inescapable – and now he’d gone …”

THE UNION
A.M. KNIGHT
Book Five of the Union of Man
An evil greater than any faced before terrorises the world, and the two continents must unite. But each nation distrusts the other, and secrets believed to have been long buried threaten being unearthed and risk fracturing a fragile alliance.
The Union needs to sacrifice everything to confront an army of fanatics that has erupted onto the world. The death toll eclipses any before, and victory seems impossible.
The series reaches its conclusion.
“… the Scarred Army lined up from north to south waging war on civilisation, on freedom, and on progress. They were disgusting, disfigured creatures with only one thought in their hollow heads, to worship the blinding light they believed had led them out of the darkness. They despised their enemy, and it was a hatred with some justification. But if they had their way, their barbarous nature would forever desecrate the world. Behind the supposed pureness of their mighty aims was envy, an envy that they couldn’t achieve anything in a world in which they were its poorer inhabitants. The only way for them to stand out was to perpetrate horrific crimes that would leave the world recoiling at their depravity. It had gone on too long. There was no chance of stepping away from the brink now. The hatred and violence had to be confronted. And confronted by hatred and violence.”

A.M. Knight is a daydreamer.
After spending 10 years dreaming about a series of epic stories, he then spent over 12 years writing them. The intention was that one book would flow into the next and readers could invest in the series knowing that it would reach a conclusion.
His books rely less on the usual fantasy devices and more on characterisation and emotional impact. He lives in England with his family.
