RJ Barker lives in Leeds with his wife, son and 'a collection of questionable taxidermy'. He grew up reading whatever he could get his hands on, and having played in a rock band before deciding he was a rubbish musician, RJ returned to his first love, fiction, to find he is rather better at that. As well as his debut epic fantasy series, the Wounded Kingdom trilogy (Age of Assassins, Blood of Assassins and King of Assassins) RJ has written short stories and historical scripts which have been performed across the country. He has the sort of flowing locks any cavalier would be proud of. RJ's novel The Bone Ships is the winner of the British Fantasy Society's Best Novel, aka the Robert Holdstock Award.
An experienced novelist at the top of his game - this is Avatar
meets Dune, on shrooms
*Five stars from SFX*
A splendid fantasy work, full of RJ's trademark invention. Highly
recommended
*Adrian Tchaikovsky*
Utterly immersive . . . there's is still so much more left to
explore in this world, and I cannot wait to return
*Fantasy Hive*
Barker has created a beautiful world that balances the dark and
deadly with just the right amount of hope
*Grimdark Magazine*
A fascinating, compelling novel... with epic themes, epically
strange worldbuilding, and excellent action scenes. I'm very much
looking forward to the next instalment
*Locus*
A sweeping story of destiny and redemption. Weighty, deliberate,
tender and brutal, this is a big, wonderful book and an utterly
involving read
*Daily Mail*
A five star reading experience . . . the next book in this series
cannot come soon enough
*The Fantasy Review*
