Echoes Beyond the Forest
Book one in The Cryomancer series, Echoes Beyond the Forest tells the story of Arthur Steale, a nineteen-year-old mage looking to find fame and fortune in the Seekers Guild. Told across twelve adventures, Arthur encounters demons, dryads, yetis, elementals, and more mythical foes as he wrangles his new career while overcoming his inexperience and self-doubt.
Echoes Beyond the Forest will appeal to fantasy readers looking for a fun, fast-paced read filled with action and excitement. Readers who can relate to moving cities, building new relationships, or starting a challenging and overwhelming career may enjoy Arthur’s journey on an even more personal level.
Echoes Beyond the Forest is now available in paperback and ebook formats!
Heart of the Damned
Book two in The Cryomancer series, Heart of the Damned follows on one week after Echoes Beyond the Forest. Arthur’s heroism has inadvertently upset the Seekers Guildmaster, Madam Ivrea, who sends him to his home city, Holdrose, while she cleans up his mess.
Meanwhile, a public execution incites necromancers from across the realm to gather in Southerncrest and demand the decriminalisation of their school. Their presence reignites the Paladin’s Creed, who will leave the city strewn with blood if it means ending the necromancers’ campaign.
When Arthur eventually returns to Southerncrest, he becomes caught in the ancient conflict threatening to destroy everything close to his heart. Fragile alliances test his courage, and in the final hour, he discovers the grim reality of heroism and the cost of his greatest sacrifice.
Heart of the Damned is due to be released 1st September, 2025!
