The City of Shades is drowned. The Grey City enslaved. The barrier between the worlds is failing and only the Magelord of the City of Towers still lives to protect her people. Until the arrival of a blind wanderer.
Luke Scull is the lead designer at game design company Ossian Studios. He lives and works in Warminster.
If you like your gizzards glistening and your mages mean, this
rollicking debut will suit. Hugely enjoyable
*Daily Mail*
A writer who will hit the genre like an augmented hammer. My
favourite fantasy of the year
*Parmenion Books*
The writing is incredible... Sword of the North is everything I'd
hoped it would be, a deserving sequel to one of the finest fantasy
novels of recent times – a rich and rewarding read told by a true
storyteller'
*SF Books*
If you are into Epic Fantasy this series should be on your to read
list. Luke Scull's background in RPG design has given him a
definite edge when it comes to designing and executing his story.
Fast, brutal and a whole lot of cool
*The Book Plank*
The characters are the highlight; they are all so well written,
deeply developed and memorable in their own way. Even when Scull's
characters are dastardly and unlikeable, they're great... I
absolutely cannot wait for the final'
*Fantasy Book Critic*
A story of seeking. Luke spreads light and shade, shining poignancy
through the brutality as we watch youthful black and white beliefs
clash with a real world reality. (A religious metaphor for those
who seek depth in fantasy.)
*The Bookbag*
