The Taboo of the Grand Antlers

A shipwrecked man washes up on a tropical beach and immediately the island has bigger plans for him, as islands do.

At first glance he just looks like a typical foreign soldier who loves battle, snark, and women. But he's the only man who can overcome a sorcerer who's violated the taboo of the grand antlers.

Violence, lust, humor, magic— this island may really be a hero's paradise, as long as he figures out how to fit in and whom to trust.

Like a volcanic island forming out of the ocean, Matthew Atkinson bursts forth with this dazzling heroic fantasy, The Taboo of the Grand Antlers. It's sword-and-sorcery where the sword is an obsidian-studded heap of wood and the sorcery is always brewing up a new surprise.
