David Hair, an award-winning writer of fantasy, has been inspired by his travels around the globe. He was born in New Zealand, spent time in Britain, Europe and India (which inspired THE MOONTIDE and SUNSURGE QUARTETS and the RAVANA series). After some years in Bangkok, Thailand, he and his wife returned to Wellington, New Zealand, where they are now settled (for the time being). His epic fantasy sagas THE MOONTIDE QUARTET, THE SUNSURGE QUARTET, THE TETHERED CITADEL TRILOGY and the YA saga THE RETURN OF RAVANA are all published by Jo Fletcher Books, as is his new fantasy adventure series, THE TALMONT TRILOGY, starting with The Burning Land.
Scarlet Tides is simply faster, better and even more satisfying
that its prequel.
*Upcoming4.Me*
Hair spins a satisfying fantasy that, in some aspects, is a sort of
mashup of J.R.R. Tolkien and Henry Kissinger . . . believable,
complete and utterly satisfying . . . Fans of the series will be
eager to see what comes next
*Kirkus*
Overall, Scarlet Tides represents modern epic fantasy at its
best
*Fantasy Book Critic*
an excellent follow up to the first novel, continuing the tradition
of vivid, dynamic characters and terrific world building . . .
Readers of epic fantasy should definitely check out this series
*Bibliosanctum*
Scarlet Tides continues a fantastic epic fantasy series with a
great cast, immersive world, and fascinating system of magic that
builds to a stunning several-hundred page conclusion in the vein of
Steven Erikson, where everything possible happens to everyone. He
improved on everything that made Mage's Blood so good and added
even more oomph to it. I cannot wait to start Unholy War. Read.
This. Series.
*A Bitter Draft*
Scarlet Tides has been compared to great fantasy epics such as A
Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time, and it easily earns it
place amongst them
*Fanbase Press*
A must read series
*Fantasy Review Barn*
Scarlet Tides is still a heavy tome with lots of excellent story
inside of it. The magic system becomes even more fleshed out as
things are revealed, the world grows with new locations and
characters, and a fun level of "what next" to the story
*Novelnaut*
The Moontide Quartet is perhaps the most understated fantasy series
currently being written. It features a wide, diverse cast of
characters spread out over dual continents. Focusing on a clash of
civilisations storyline, David Hair offers a tale that encapsulates
epic fantasy to its entirety
*Fantasy Book Critic, The Year’s Top Ten*
A remarkable series
*SFFANZ*
A complex world populated by a rich and diverse cast of characters
. . . There's a little something for everyone here - conspiracies,
political backstabbing, high magic, swordplay, a smattering of
romance, and more . . .Recommended for fans of George R.R. Martin,
Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss
*Monster Librarian*
The Moontide Quartet has everything I am looking for when I want a
truly epic feel
