Violence & Vigilance is book one of Turesia Untamed, an epic fantasy series featuring an eternal vendetta, scars of grief and loss, untethered rage, and hope against all odds.

Irdessa the Undying, a renowned arena fighter in Fohrvylda, has escaped imprisonment but at great cost. Broken and alone, she must outwit and outfight her pursuers.

Basalt Kale, a failed Consonant monk of the lowest order, embarks on a quest to improve Ausgan but discovers vile secrets of his order that he cannot abide.

The heathens of Fohrvylda amass ships and beasts of war to sail the Faithless Sea and assault the monks of Ausgan, who will greet the steel-bearing invaders with elemental destruction.

Violence & Vigilance is a story of survival with dark humor, exotic settings, savage beasts, and damaged characters. If you enjoy the grittiness of Joe Abercrombie's First Law or the urgency of Pierce Brown's Red Rising, you'll love Violence & Vigilance.

Thoroughly enjoyed this story, what stands out is List's ability to blend intense action sequences with moments of introspection, creating a dynamic and engaging narrative. The world-building is intricate and immersive, making the land of Fohrvylda come alive with its unique cultures and relentless challenges.

Given how this first book has set up the series, it’s thrilling to imagine where List will take us next. For fans of grimdark fantasy, "Violence & Vigilance" is a must-read, promising much more excitement and depth in the installments to come.

Well crafted Grimdark story

I came into this book blind, knowing that I was diving into something different from the ‘normal’ (whatever that is) fantasy out there and into a book that so many of my fellow indie authors talk about.
But damn, I glad I did.
List’s book once again demonstrates the depth of indie writers out there, and that whenever risks are taken with style and talent, the outcome is something fresh.
V&V is a long book, but doesn’t feel that way, and as you emerge the other end, you know the second book is going to be bigger, brasher, and that you will be along for the ride on both sides of a coming war.
The opening throws you in at the deep-end. It is deliberate, a raw exemplar of how List’s world regards people, and as you sync with it, it readies you for what comes next. Read on and remember: ‘Don’t feed the birds’ — and now you have to read it to find out why.
If you like your worlds revealed, not thrown at you, love being on the edge of your seat, and are comfortable with dark, at times grimdark undertones, this book is for you. I loved it.

in the beginning, I almost lost interest as the descriptions of connections went one. soooo glad I kept at it and was rewarded with a tantalizingly good story and characters. Looking forward to the next one!

Good story!
