About the author

Born in London of Nigerian parentage, Ollie Odebunmi grew up on a diet of Marvel superheroes, epic fantasy authors such as Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock, Karl Edward Wagner, and more recently, David Gemmell, Raymond Feist, Brandon Sanderson and Peter V Brett. He published his first book: The Last Great Heavyweights-From Ali and Frazier to Lewis and Tyson in 2013. Satisfied he had the chops as a writer, he took the plunge into fiction, and naturally, it had to be epic fantasy. Prior to writing, Ollie ran his own gym and fitness business for a number of years.
