About P.J. Berman
P.J.Berman grew up in Hertfordshire, England. Since then, after a brief but enjoyable period living in Plymouth, Devon, he has settled in the beautiful Welsh countryside of Carmarthenshire, along with his wife, his baby daughter and their crazy Labrador. Given where he has lived, he is probably one of the few people to be a fan of both Stevenage Football Club and the Scarlets.
As for the writing itself, that started back in about 2010 when he tried his hand at writing short stories. By 2013 he was ready to begin his first attempt at a novel, and in 2017 he completed Vengeance of Hope, which he published in 2018. Since then he has completed its sequel, King of the Republic, and he is now working on the third book in the series, War of Mercy.

Queen Silrith has fallen. Now she must rise again. However, when her army lands in Etrovansia in search of reinforcements and political support, their welcome is far from warm. Their retreat from one war could start another.
Ezrina, a vengeful Hentani priestess, feels the weight of expectation placed on her by her tribe. Without Jezna by her side, her headship is a lonely one. Will the arrival of strange new allies prove a welcome help or complicate matters further?
Zethun, an ambitious young politician, rides a wave of public support amid the passion of revolution. Now he must restore order before the mob descends into anarchy.
All three rebels stand on the precipice of their defining moments. There is no going back now.
Meanwhile, the tyrannical usurper, King Jostan, brings new violence to the Verusantian reign of terror over Bennvika.

Blood and Greed (2020)
Mother of many, mother of none, a queen shall fall, and a warrior will come
The sword. The word. The holy relic.
How would you fight to reclaim your liberty?
The king is dead. An arrest has been made. The throne has been usurped. Bennvika is a land engulfed in turmoil and uncertainty.
Silrith, the exiled Princess of Bennvika, stands shoulder to shoulder with her followers, sword in hand, ready to defend those in need of her protection. Yet she knows that if she falls, thousands more will also perish.
Ezrina, of the Hentani tribe, burns with desire for revenge against those who oppress her people, but more than anything she must fight to protect the woman she could be executed for loving.
Zethun, an ambitious young politician, yearns for a fairer world with a greater voice for the poor. However, for him and his followers, to speak the word ‘republic’ could be a fatally dangerous move in a land ruled by a despot.
Will the rebel factions succeed? Or in the indiscriminate butchery of war, will their disunity prove to be their downfall, bringing about the destruction of their world as they know it?

Blood and Greed: Volume 1 (2020)
In a desperate bid to regain a foothold on regional power, Silrith, the rightful Queen of Bennvika, has pushed the Etrovansian despot Ravla back to the Dunestra River. But the army blocking her path is far from the only mortal peril she faces.
Across the sea, Bennvika itself is in chaos. Nobody holds sway over the entire nation, though many claim it as multiple factions vie for supremacy.
The bloody conflict of attrition continues. Can Silrith bring an end to the widespread suffering? Or does fate have other plans?
Award-winning fantasy author P.J. Berman steps into new territory by releasing four historical short stories of how the greed of the few costs the blood of the many.
A Bloody Day at Marathon
After his home is destroyed and his family slaughtered, Theodosius thirsts for revenge.
The Spirit of Poland
Poland stands alone - and it’s fighting for its life. A handful of brave pilots embody the country’s defiance in the face of annihilation.
Split Loyalties
Its glory days may be over, but even in the tumult that engulfs the Western Roman Empire, Sigeric and Licinia are forced to wonder, does love really conquer all, or is that the preserve of the Roman legions?
The Fate of Mari
Carrying messages throughout the city of Mari is Bashaa’s life, but under the shadow of advancing enemies, his path is about to take a turn he could never have predicted.

P.J.Berman grew up in Hertfordshire, England. Since then, after a brief but enjoyable period living in Plymouth, Devon, he has settled in the beautiful Welsh countryside of Carmarthenshire.
Quando il Re di Bennvika muore in circostanze misteriose ed un usurpatore straniero di nome Jostan Kazabrus s'impadronisce del trono, imponendo spietatamente la sua volontà sulla popolazione, un triumvirato disunito di leader e dei loro seguaci deve tentare di resistergli.
La prima è Silrith, la spodestata Principessa filantropa che ci si aspettava salisse al trono. La seconda è Ezrina, una ribelle vendicativa che desidera disperatamente ribaltare gli anni di oppressione etnica del suo popolo, gli Hentani. Il terzo è Zethun, un piccolo nobile che crede che l'unico modo di lottare per la gente comune sia abolire del tutto la monarchia.
Mentre le varie fazioni affrontano la minaccia della tirannia e della persecuzione religiosa, ogni condottiero deve essere pronto a compiere l'estremo sacrificio per la loro causa.
La reina Silrith ha caído. Ahora ella debe levantarse de nuevo. Sin embargo, cuando su ejército aterriza en Etrovansia en busca de refuerzos y apoyo político, su bienvenida está lejos de ser cálida. Su retirada de una guerra podría comenzar otra.
Ezrina, una vengativa sacerdotisa Hentani, siente el peso de la expectativa que su tribu le impone. Sin Jezna a su lado, su liderazgo es solitario. ¿La llegada de nuevos aliados extraños será una ayuda bienvenida o complicará aún más las cosas?
Zethun, un joven político ambicioso, monta una ola de apoyo público en medio de la pasión de la revolución. Ahora debe restablecer el orden antes de que la muchedumbre descienda a la anarquía. Los tres rebeldes se encuentran en el precipicio de sus momentos decisivos. No hay vuelta atrás ahora.
Mientras tanto, el usurpador tiránico, el rey Jostan, trae nueva violencia al reino de terror verusantiano sobre Bennvika.
Cuando el Rey de Bennvika muere en circunstancias sospechosas y un usurpador extranjero llamado Jostan Kazabrus se apodera del trono, imponiendo despiadadamente su voluntad a la población, un triunvirato desunido de líderes y sus seguidores deben intentar resistirlo.
La primera es Silrith, la princesa filantrópica expulsada que se esperaba que tomara el trono. La segunda es Ezrina, una rebelde vengativa que está desesperada por revertir los años de opresión étnica de su pueblo, los Hentani. El tercero es Zethun, un noble menor que cree que la única forma de luchar por la gente común es abolir la monarquía por completo.
A medida que las diversas facciones luchan contra la amenaza de la tiranía y la persecución religiosa, cada una debe estar preparada para hacer el último sacrificio por su causa.
Uma espada. O mundo. A relíquia sagrada.
Como você lutaria para recuperar sua liberdade?
O Rei está morto. Uma prisão foi decretada. O trono foi usurpado.
Bennvika é uma terra envolvida em turbulência e incerteza.
Silrith, a Princesa exilada de Bennvika, permanece lado a lado com seus seguidores, espada na mão, pronta para defender aqueles que precisam de sua proteção. No entanto, ela sabe que se falhar, outros milhares também perecerão.
Ezrina, da tribo Hentani, arde de desejo de vingança contra aqueles que oprimem seu povo, mas mais do que tudo, ela deve lutar para proteger a mulher que poderia ser executada por amá-la.
Zethun, um jovem político ambicioso, anseia por um mundo mais justo, com maior voz para os pobres. No entanto, para ele e seus seguidores, dizer a palavra "república" pode ser uma jogada fatalmente perigosa em uma terra governada por um tirano.
As facções rebeldes terão sucesso? Ou no caos indiscriminado da guerra, sua desunião será sua queda, provocando a destruição de seu mundo como o conhecem?
