Fantasy Historical
Perfect for fans of Game of Thrones, this novel from acclaimed author Douglas Nicholas continues the gripping dark fantasy series that Kirkus Reviews describes as βa more profound Harry Potter for adults.β
Itβs 1215 in northwest Englandβthe eve of the signing of the Magna Cartaβand mystical Irish queen Maeve and her unlikely band of warriors must protect the region from a chilling fate. Word of a threat reaches the Northern barons: King John has plotted to import an African sorcerer and his sinister clan of blacksmiths, whose unearthly powers may spell destruction for the entire kingdom. Along with her lover, Jack, her gifted niece, Nemain, and Nemainβs newlywed husband, Hob (whose hidden talents will soon be revealed), Maeve must overcome a supernatural threat unlike any sheβs seen before.
With his characteristic blend of historical adventure and intoxicating mythological elements, Nicholas once again βgoes for the throatβ¦with brilliant writing and whip-smart plottingβ (New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry). This is a richly woven tale that will leave you hungry for more.
