Gareth Hanrahan's three-month break from computer programming to concentrate on writing has now lasted fifteen years and counting. He's written more gaming books than he can readily recall, by virtue of the alchemical transmutation of tea and guilt into words. He lives in Ireland with his wife and twin sons.

"Hanrahan ramps up the eldritch pyrotechnics in his gritty third
Black Iron Legacy epic. Hanrahan's prose and imagery harken back to
the best of classic sword and sorcery fantasy with humans
struggling to survive as deities battle. This will please series
fans."--Publishers Weekly on The Broken God
