About the book

Now, as another winter approaches, the armies of the Black Road march south, from their exile beyond the Vale of Stones. For some, war will bring a swift and violent death. Others will not hear the clash of swords or see the corpses strewn over the fields. They instead will see an opportunity to advance their own ambitions. But all, soon, will fall under the shadow that is descending.

For, while the storm of battle rages, one man is following a path that will awaken a terrible power in him - and his legacy will be written in blood.

He has written two novels in his Godless World trilogy, and his website includes extended essays and maps to his novels. His first novel was Winterbirth, in 2007. In 2011, he is publishing a horror-fantasy set in 19th century Edinburgh, The Edinburgh Dead.
