About the Author

R B Watkinson (Rosa) was raised on myths and legends, and now loves fantasy, sci-fi, horror, mystery, and so much more. Her tastes in reading and film watching are nothing if not eclectic. She's held down a variety of jobs: IT, publishing, teaching in special needs education. She also acts, and sings, and will continue to do so until she's asked to stop. She studied for a Diploma in Creative Writing at Oxford University from 2009-2011, which ran the gamut of long and short fiction, poetry, plays, films, travel, and biography. She is the author of The Cracked Amulet, which was listed for the David Gemmell Morningstar Award in 2017. It is the first of her Wefan Weaves Trilogy. The Fractured Portal is her second, The Ruptured Weaves will be her third. She is also a narrator and producer of Audiobooks: Ghosts of Tomorrow by Michael R. Fletcher, The Last Dragon Rider by Errin Krystal, The City of Kings by Rob Hayes. Many more are in production. Find her at SFF conventions, say 'hi', she is approachable and friendly.

Reviews

A wide ranging fantasy tale ... bags of imagination on display ... strongest in its world building and magic ...

Mark Lawrence, author of the Broken Empire Trilogy, the Red Queen's War Trilogy, the Book of the Ancestor Trilogy.

There are some exciting scenes, battles and fights and the magic is interesting - there is more to it than at first you realise.

G.R. Matthews, author of the Corin Hayes series.

Watkinson has great fun with the world-building and the tropes of epic fantasy. With The Cracked Amulet she writes a series opener that recalls the scope, breadth and darkness of Tad Williams and JV Jones.

Steven Poore, author of The Heir to the North Duology

Watkinson kicks off a promising series with this winning first instalment to the Wefan Weaves trilogy ... Captivating characters, mythical creatures, and exciting battles make this a treat for fantasy readers.
