What happens when dark magic, ancient myth, and flawed heroes collide? In Demon’s Rise by R. E. Sanders, the stakes soar higher than ever in The Jantakai Saga, proving once again that indie epic fantasy can stand toe-to-toe with the giants of the genre.


In this spoiler-lite review, Jim dives deep into why Demon’s Rise not only delivers gripping storytelling and richly built worlds, but shows just how much Sanders has leveled up as a fantasy author. From the mysterious powers at play to the character growth and ever-expanding lore, this is one saga you’ll want to be following.


If you’ve read A Path of Blades, Tann’s Last Stand, or Demon’s Tear, you already know this world has depth—and Demon’s Rise takes it even further.
