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.

War of Mercy: Is Liberty Forged In The Fire Of Battle? (Silrith Book 3) (Medieval Fantasy) Jun 30, 2021

by P.J. Berman

$0.99

Bennvika’s civil war has spilt beyond its borders.

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?

Vengeance of Hope: Can Freedom Ever Be For All? (Silrith Book 1) (Medieval Epic Fantasy) Nov 14, 2018

by P.J. Berman

( 28 )

$0.99

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?

King of the Republic: What Makes A Freedom Fighter? (Silrith Book 2) (Medieval Epic Fantasy) Dec 30, 2019

by P.J. Berman

( 11 )

$2.99

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.

Praise for P.J. Berman and King of the Republic:
'The eloquence of writing, the beautiful character building, and detailed world-building is majestically done as we explore the situations in the fictional countries of Bennvika and Etrovansia.'
-Hari Krishnan Prasath @theobviousmystery

‘I honestly don’t think I have ever come across so much ‘bloody battling’ in one book in my life.’

by P.J. Berman , Giuseppe Raccosta

$3.99

La libertà potrà mai essere per tutti? Come salvi una nazione dalla tirannia?

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.

À Espera de Vingança: Pode a Liberdade ser para todos? (Da Série Silrith Livro 1) (Portuguese Edition) Oct 31, 2019

by P.J. Berman , Jennifer Silva

$2.99

“Mãe de muitos, Mãe de ninguém, uma Rainha ruirá, e uma Guerreira surgirá.”

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?

"Este é o começo de algo verdadeiramente especial"

Silrith (2 Book Series)

$3.98

P.J.Berman’s explosive Silrith series pitches you head first into the intense and unrelentingly dangerous kingdom of Bennvika, a world of strong, powerful women and ambitious, ruthless men. As a bitter power struggle surges through the land, you are just as likely to die in a devious political plot as you are in the carnage of a great, bloody battle.

Your ears will ring with the clang of steel on steel. Your heart will tremble at the thundering of charging hooves. You will feel the cut and slash of blades as you follow three very different rebels in their desperate fight against a tyrannical King.

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?

With vivid imagery, a punchy writing voice, detailed worldbuilding and an unapologetically fast pace, Vengeance of Hope has everything an epic fantasy novel needs.

From the Back Cover:
‘Mother of many, Mother of none, a Queen will 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.
