Life in 1700's Stockholm was unpleasant to say the least. Amidst all of the debauchery, drunkenness, and violence life is cheap, and that is the world that our early detectives work within to solve the grisly case of a mutilated corpse washed up from the river. We traverse the tiers of society, the lifestyles of the desperate, and a criminal madness that has been born of this environment. Absolutely stunning descriptive writing that leaves nothing behind.

A sweeping saga told across-times and lives intersecting, beginning with a young woman and her closed-in upbringing with her over affectionate father. Through her imagination and limited perceived understanding of the world, we travel through history to journey with Pericles and his troubled life story, a woman who comes back from the dead to assume a spiritual role in a small society, to betrayals, intrigue, adventure, and tragedy, and the acceptance of a simple life of peace. Great writing from an award winning Contemporary Literary Fiction author.

Outstanding character depth and brilliantly vivid action scenes, the king of grimdark fantasy keeps on delivering. This new book, set 30 years or so after the events of 'Last Argument of Kings', sees us back in the middle of the tension between North and South and reunited with old favourite characters and introduced to new faces who are just as memorable of the old guard. It's a slow burn as we build towards the action, getting to know those involved, then hits full force with battle action, siege tactics, brutality and the unfairness of life for rich and poor.
