An island beset by the Sea God's wrath. Once a mighty kingdom, now six provinces torn apart by treacherous barons. In one province, two young lovers strive to stay together when all else prises them apart. Lissane and Erun must survive to guide their people through the coming storm. The odds are stacked against them. Erun, dreamer and fool, is chosen for a dark path, whilst Lissane is given away by her father the baron to wed the brutal son of a rival ruler. Meanwhile, at the far side of the world, a sorcerer has freed the fire demon, Ashmali, setting off a chain of events that could ultimately bring about Gol's long foretold ruin. Caught between rising seas, civil war, and approaching fire, the continent's time is fast running out. Gol is book one in the forthcoming Legends of Ansu series. Within lies an epic tale of love, hatred, vengeance and destruction. In Gol, the high courage of a few individuals is all that stands against the will of fickle gods and the treachery of men.

Gol (The Legends of Ansu), by J.W. Webb Review "Gol" (legends of Ansu)" is the first book that introduces us to themythical world of author J.W.Webb and what a crazy, fantastical,marvelous world it is! It is imaginative pulls no punches in drawingfrom almost every available literary element available. This is a rarenovel that I thought had almost everything, from heart pounding battlescenes, to romantic love scenes, to twisted (and I mean twisted) familyrelationships, magical/supernatural elements, danger... it's hard not to find something you like. There are dark secrets revealed throughout,and nothing is predictable or what you think will happen. Kept meturning the pages late into the night! One thing I'll say is that I wasimpressed with how well the author J.W.Webb wrote it, there were almostnone of the mistakes I frequently see in new writers (slow beginnings,adverb abuse in dialogue tags, telling v. showing, etc.). Mr Webb writes like a seasoned pro and I'm looking forward to the next book in thisseries. Highly recommend!! Laura - GoodreadsGol" by J.W.Webb was a different type of book for me as I'm not a hugefantasy reader, although I do enjoy the genre. I'd read and enjoyedanother novel of J.W.Webb's ("The Haven" - Check it out!) and when I saw this one as being appealing for fans of "Lord of the Rings" and "Gameof Thrones" - two sagas that I really like, I thought I'd give this atry and see how I liked it. That said, here are my thoughts: I likedthat it was fast paced and with plenty of action, especially for a longbook. It wasn't predictable at all... and it kept my attention the whole way through. I don't think I was able to stop reading the last 30% orso! There were many characters, and I had no real concept of theindividual personalities, looks, etc... I did appreciate theintelligent, multi-layered plot - it forces you to pay attention andthink -actively engage the story. So not some easy breezy fluff beachread. To my surprise I found myself really sucked into the story, somuch so that I shed a few tears and may have cursed a few charactersalong the way. Was satisfied with the ending, but not *happy* if thatmake sense. But it's okay... Overall an enjoyable read that I'drecommend to others, and I'm really glad I gave it a shalt. Will readmore from this author anytime Tabitha - GooodreadsA complex fantasy novel combines a young man's quest, a noblewoman's nightmare, and a long-slumbering demon.Ruled by the brutal Baron Eon, Barola is just one of the many unpleasantprovinces in the land of Gol ("Barola was corrupt--a wormrottenapple--and the other provinces rumoured to be worse.") The baronarranges a marriage of political importance for his daughter to Varentin Gallante ("a pompous turd," according to the baron's eldest son,Rosco), but the wedding will only take place if it is forced. Thebaron's daughter Lissane is not interested in Varentin. She has insteadbeen seen in town with Erun, a blacksmith's son and young man who delves into poetry and "witty songs." Though the two hope to one day escapetheir treacherous conditions, their plans are vague and result in ascene of torture and combat, and Erun is badly wounded. Far away, afigure named Ozmandeus "had just achieved the impossible. He hadcaptured the essence of the Demon, Ashmali." Surely such a feat spellstrouble, but to what extent? Progressing with the aid of magicalfigures, folklore-worthy locations, and plenty of violence ("brightblood spilled and congealed on the bearskin rugs"), the storyincorporates many well-known fantasy tropes. Weaving the storylines with capable skill, Webb (Haven, 2015, etc.) supplies many intriguingimpediments, from a cunning, albeit entrapped, "Water Element" calledAqueous to a predictably sinister figure named Black Torlock. Readerswill be eager to see just when, and how, it will all come together.Descriptions lean toward the obvious ("Erun felt a string of emotionswash through him: sadness, anger, excitement and fear, were but a few"), a predilection that increases the page count but does little for thecontent. Nevertheless, readers unperturbed by the writing style willfind a multifaceted, though manageable narrative.An appealing tale set in an enchanted realm offers blunt prose and vivid characters in constant motion. Kirkus ReviewsFor me, author voice is almost everything, and it will make or break anovel and my enjoyment of it. I need to hear originality and know thatthe author is not trying to sound or write like someone else, but istelling HIS story in a whole new way, whatever that story may be. I feel like I can smell a fake a mile away, and believe me I've read my fairshare of books from authors who are 'trying' to emulate better, moreaccomplished authors in their genre. What impressed me the most here was that I thought that Mr. Webb's writing style has the confidence anddelightful quirkiness of a much more seasoned pro... I know he's written another book, but this feels, reads, and presents like a master of hiscraft. The characters had that elusive 'flavor' that only comes whenthey are fully realized and fleshed out, something that is not easilydone, especially in a novel of this depth and magnitude of complexissues. A great read, and will be looking for the next one from him.Recommend for older teens through adults. Sherri - GoodreadsThere were so many things I loved about this book, I hardly know where to begin. First, I loved the cover. And those amazing illustrations are done by Tolkien's illustrator? Wow, that is so incredible! Second, I love the way J.W. Webb writes characters and especially dialogue and action scenes. I really feel like I am inside the story, as a part of it, instead of being on the outside looking in and having a story "told" to me. Mr. Webb's vivid descriptions and lyrical prose creates a beautiful portrait and a frightening, mystical world that one can get lost in for hours and hours. This books seriously has everything good--action, fantasy, romance, good and evil, magic, ...I wish this series could be made into a movie, although it probably wouldn't be as good as the book anyways. But I thought the plot was highly creative, even for a fantasy, and wasn't just a re-telling of the same overused plot devices we always see. Although I had to a few times, I truly didn't want to stop reading until I'd finished. And I had some tears at the end! Ready for the next ones by J.W. Webb. Claire - Gooodreads
From the Author Gol comprises books 1&2 of the Legends of Ansu. Its content opens the doors on this new fantasy series featuring bespoke sketches throughout by Tolkien artist, Roger Garland. Gol is a passionate tale of love, hate, destiny and vengeance, power and the corruption that follows it. It's helter-skelter pace brims with gritty action and conflict. Within Gol's fast turning pages three dimensional characters struggle for dominance, pawns playing on an intricate tapestry-board of myth and all-consuming magic. Gol tells of a continent threatened by fire and water, and time. A land where gods and men and other stranger beings strive to gain control, and where two young lovers are thrust into the midst of the coming storm.I wrote Gol as a prequel to The Shattered Crown (now book three - Legends of Ansu.) It's a standalone novel, but also opens the doors on the rest of the books -- the events taking place 1000 years before the next one, The Shattered Crown. It's a large complex book, but the pages turn furious fast (or so my readers tell me!) Gol is darker than the other books in the series and focuses on the ambitions and folly of its rulers, and the crafty games played by their gods. I had a great time writing this though it was a challenge as there were so many threads to weave together. I do hope you enjoy it!
From the Back Cover When I came across this book I had no interest in the fantasy genre, but was inspired by the complexity of the world J.W Webb created. It is timeless and in my opinion a very clever piece of writing... a complexity of characters who are both so real and surreal in a world that is closer to our own than we would admit; a future classic! I wait with impatience for the next book. Good stuff-- Marie Mckeown.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A great find! By Mindy This book was a great find. It's bigger than the books I usually read but I couldn't put it down. It's definately epic fantasy, the plot is tense and the characters very real. The fight scenes are amazing, but there are many moments of haunting mystery and conflicting love that give this story added depth. I stayed up late many nights in a rush to finish this. Have to say the ending blew me away! Totaly wicked!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Read it, thank me later! By SSBentley I really loved this! Fantasy, war, epic, love story, and dry comedy - Gol has it all, yet it's effortless, fast-paced, and evocative. One of those novels where the characters stay with you long after you close your Kindle/ipad/the book's cover. Satisfying, fun, rich, and deep. I think my favorite part of it was that the characters are multi-dimensional and realistic (differing from many fantasy-genre characters), and that they grow and change through the events of the novel. Highly recommended to Game of Thrones fans (but this has more humor, and the plot actually develops and ends).
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. THIS IS A GOOD START TO AN ONGOING SERIES By Blaltimore Phil The themes are familiar. It's like a Game of Thrones( cruel, bloody, barons grasping for power), the flavor of Olympian gods playing their head games, an annual truce of warring parties during a competition tournament and a Tolkien like quest to confront an evil sorcerer taken over by a greater evil to mankind. Yeah, there's a lot going on with multiple plots and subplots. Unbelievably, despite recognizable fantasy tales the author does capture and holds attention. Initial impression was: I have already read these scenarios. But the interesting thing is how I was able to become involved in the characters and plots through the writer's ability to draw me in.The unlikely hero doesn't especially meet the specifications. Even after training he still retains a healthy sense of self deprecation. I did appreciate the fact that all does not end well as in life. So, it's not necessarily a HEA story but there is hope. The heroine I have ambiguous feelings since some of her actions were questionable but in her defense born female at this time was not the best of circumstances. Definitely, this book is not for the weak of heart considering the graphic violence . However, it did fit into the context of the times.Personally, I don't finish books without a level of intelligence, ability to keep my attention, involvement in the story.... Yes, I did finish and would recommend.
