Download As PDF : Lords of Asylum Book One The Serpent Knight Saga eBook Kevin Wright
Plague howls through Europe, war rages across the land, and Asylum City wavers in the grip of an arcane killer.
Amidst the maelstrom churning, enter Sir Luther Slythe Krait a knight long bled dry of chivalry, a fallen lawman whose sole desire is to slink along unnoticed, unneeded, forgotten.
But Krait is a man who gets what he deserves, not what he desires.
Lord Raachwald rules half of the ruin that is Asylum City, and he intends to rule all. But his heir was murdered in a dark rite and Raachwald’s legacy and purpose lie shattered. And with his son’s killer still at-large, revenge, too, lies beyond his reach.
But Lord Raachwald has not forgotten Krait. The two have history and, in point of fact, Raachwald hates him. And with good reason. But he also knows Krait has his uses.
Plunged into Asylum’s civil war and tasked into Raachwald’s service, Krait must hunt the heir’s killer. But it’s a labyrinthine trail fraught with dark sorcery and peril. Can Krait navigate Asylum’s maze of power-ravenous lords long enough to unmask the truth? Hunt down the killer? Bring him to justice?
Or will he die trying?
Read Lords of Asylum today and find out.

Quantitative Development in Infancy and Early Childhood Software
Lords of Asylum Book One The Serpent Knight Saga eBook Kevin Wright Reviews
Good stuff! Great character development and nice mix of mystery and sword and sorcery.
A great read and a new addition to Mr. Wright's repertoire. Truly if you're a fan of detective novels and fantasy, this is a great combo. The medieval fantasy detective novel may be a small niche but it's one Wright handles superbly. And with his mastery of it, a growing sub-genre for sure. His mixture of grit and dark humor comes through well in his main character Sir Luther Slythe-Krait. To quote him, "I've seen things drunk I didn't believe come sobriety. And I've seen things sober I'd never have believed drunk. For the next part I'd prefer to be drunk". Drunk or sober, you'll enjoy this read if the fantasy genre is your poison of choice.
For two bucks on , or a few more for the softcover (I went softcover, I'm a purist...) it's worth taking the chance
"You COULD try doing it like a man?" -Sir Luther

Well written, with a great story
A good read. Particularly enjoyed the well thought out and expertly described fight scenes... something sadly missing from other books I have read. Characters were believable and compelling. Dialogue was smooth and never forced. Plot was paced very well, moved smoothly and was deeply involving. This is a straight up medieval piece, well written. Would read more in this genre by this author.
Only thing wrong with this book is the title. Should have stopped at Lords of Asylum.
It's a great book with clever writing and extremely interesting story.
More like the Lowtown books than anything else I have read recently.
No heroes here. Just a grim mystery set in medieval times. Pretty whores and One eyed lords.
This book is hard to put down.
Lords of Asylum mixes political intrigue, a murder mystery and thriller. Black Death ravages Europe. The civil war breaks out. All these events, and more, throw the city of Asylum into chaos. Sir Luther Slythe Krait, compelled into the service of his arch-nemesis, Lord Raachwald, must solve a murder mystery involving black witchcraft.
While the storyline becomes unwieldy at times, Wright does a skilled job overall of keeping things focused and directed. Adeptly written and replete with dark imagery, this novel continually surprises. The overarching storyline isn’t exactly innovative, but readers who enjoy narratives that explore grey morality will find this novel — and its damaged protagonist — intriguing.
The world-building does the job well and allowed me to immerse in the events. Unfortunately, the stylised prose broke the flow for me more than once. Wright uses repetition and rhythmic sentences that will appeal to some readers, but discourage others. I’m in the middle. At times I enjoyed it, at times I felt tired of it.
Aside from strong, “visible“ prose, the novel is a little overweight - I can see it loosing 15-20% of the content without loosing direction.
But these are just minor complaints. If you’re into noir fantasy with clever plot, troubled characters and great twists, give this one a try.
This is the story of Sir Luther Slythe Krait, a knight and former justiciar who is now making his way in the world as… a caravan guard. Well, the caravan he was guarding was attacked and pretty much everyone but him killed… look I never said he was a good caravan guard.
What he is good at though is investigating. One of the lords of the city of Asylum, Lord Raachwald’s heir (among other people) was horribly killed by something that is rather unexplainable, and Lord Raachwald would really like to know who or what did it. So, he coerces sir Luther Krait, a man he hates but grudgingly admits is good at what he does, to investigate what happened. And by coerce, I mean kidnap his brother Stephan and swear he’ll kill him if Krait doesn’t do what he wants. So he’s in a bind, and of course one of the other Lords of Asylum is pissed off that Krait is investigating something for his nemesis in his city. So he’s got two angry lords breathing down his neck.
So it’s up to Krait to try and figure this mystery out before all hell breaks loose in Asylum.
I really enjoyed this one for a couple of reasons, but those reasons are probably going to be reasons why other people won’t like it.
This takes place in actual 14th century Europe, which was not a really fantastic time to be alive, to be honest. This world is dark and full of all kinds of murder and war, and death and some more war on top of all the other death. The plague is running rampant, and Asylum is pretty much surrounded by fires consuming the corpses of those who have succumbed. So this setting, and therefore most of this book, is quite grim, and rather bleak.
It’s also quite noir, which was interesting, but may be a sticking point for some people. Again, this takes place in 14th century Europe, however much of the dialog is often very modern and uses vernacular which would not have been in use at the time. For me, it gave the book a quality that I really enjoyed, because I can guarantee I would have liked it less were this dialog more historically accurate. Krait is sort of a 14th century morally-grey detective. He’s not a good guy, not really. But he’s not inherently the worst guy around either. He’s in the middle somewhere. He’s quite snarky at times, and he’ll throw out a witty comeback here or there that worked for me, but might not work for everyone.
His dialog made me legitimately laugh a few times, which was nice, given the super-dark atmosphere that the setting provides. The titular Lords of Asylum, most especially one of them, act very much like mob bosses, sending their thuggish henchmen out to do the dirty work, like summoning Krait in for a nice… uh… chat. Krait’s partner in crime, so to speak, a Norseman named Karl was also a great character. The banter between him and Krait was excellent and quite entertaining all on its own.
As modern as the dialog sounds, there is a fair bit of historical accuracy here, as there was indeed plague and war running rampant through much of Europe at this time in history. The persecution of the Jewish people of Europe during the plague was a pretty major part of this story as well. So, there are a fair amount of anti-semitic slurs and remarks thrown at the Jewish characters from various sources, on top of the fair bit of swearing that takes place already. Just throwing that out there, for anyone that might find things like slurs and the f-bomb uncomfortable. This one doesn’t shy away from horrible things that actually happened, nor does it shy away from language that portrays those things in a realistic way.
The mystery kept me in the dark until the big reveal, despite dropping some pretty big hints, which was nice. That kept me really interested, as I wanted to find out the whodunnit. I didn’t find the book boring at any point, and usually found myself excited to pick it up and read it when I had time, but it admittedly felt rather like some parts were unnecessarily long or drawn out more than was really necessary to convey what needed conveying. At the same time, most of these parts were entertaining in their own way, but they still felt as if they were padding the word count a bit. All the same, I thought the prose was very well done, and this book was really well written. Kevin Wright obviously has some serious writing skills.
Kevin Wright is one fine writer -read him now, before everyone else discovers him. His characters are never from central casting but creations all his own. His plots are twisted and devious, yet always come together in the end, which is no small accomplishment.
This Medieval/horror/fantasy/detective noire story is his most recent accomplishment. Sir Luther Krait is one troubled messed up character. Scoundrel, admitted coward, and survivor, he's forced to solve problems for people he hates, in a place he loathes and discovers things he does not want to know. In spite of everything, Krait is a witty smooth talker who's tongue saves his skin as often as his sword.
