Dangerous Ideals
It isn’t easy to survive in a weird hollow world, riddled with magic and stuffed with hostiles. Drome should know. In the days since he was kidnapped, he’s come close to death a little too often for comfort. Luckily, the common sense and skills of Nev, his fleshless fellow fugitive, have got him out of difficulty every time up til now. But there’s something bothering him about his feelings for Nev… And he can’t admit that to anyone, least of all himself. When he stalks off alone in a huff and walks wide-eyed into yet another sticky situation, he only has his own wits to rely on. Shackled to a wall and about to be put to death in the most horrible way imaginable, he’s beginning to wish he hadn’t alienated his only friend. Then there’s the warning he’s supposed to give to his fellow villagers. With him dead, they’ll be sitting ducks for the deathly force heading their way. Dammit! He needs a plan. And maybe a bit of help. But definitely not from a certain living skeleton with an attitude problem. If you like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Joe Abercrombie, you won't be able to put down the addictive Hollow series.
A Taste of Steel
What would you do if you let slip information that could start a war? What if the person you divulged said information to is a rebel queen with a thirst for blood? In a world where metal is rare, you probably wouldn’t make matters worse by revealing a map showing the location of the hoard of steel you just told her about. Steel she could turn into swords, spears, and axes. Steel that will destroy her foes with their pathetic hardened glass weapons and leather armour. Unfortunately, Drome isn’t the most gifted of people when it comes to discretion. Or thinking things through. The consequences hurl him down a path riddled with folk keen to boil him alive, stick pointy objects in his tender flesh or blow him into tiny pieces. With the real queen gunning for him too, Drome reluctantly embarks on a secret mission to fix the mess he started. The civilised world depends on him. All he has to do is end a savage war. With a princess and a sorcerer on his side, what could possibly go wrong? If you like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Joe Abercrombie, you won't be able to put down the addictive Hollow series.
The Persistence of Poison
Can you trust with a sorcerer who wanted to kill you… …but by mistake, shoved both of you into a distant world of magic, greed, and conflict instead? Vester doesn’t have a great deal of choice when it comes to trust. Far away from home, the only way he’s going to remain alive is to bury the hatchet. Besides which, when he and his enemy-turned-companion from Earth settle in the imperial capital, the sorcerer, takes to the magic of their new home like a duck to water. All nice and useful for Vester who’s clawing his way up the imperial echelons of power. With all his ruthlessness and back-stabbing, he shouldn’t have been surprised when someone tries to kill him. But who was it? Time’s running out and he has to be more unscrupulous and cunning than anyone, to catch his would-be killer before he strikes again. As far as Vester is concerned, death is for other people. Or is it? If you like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Joe Abercrombie, you won't be able to put down the addictive Hollow series.
Flight of the Gazebo
It isn’t easy when you find yourself lost and alone in a strange place. It’s even trickier when that place is a different world, and you have no idea how you got there. Drome’s top priority isn’t to figure that out. It’s to avoid getting himself killed. But his talent for making enemies as he flees the villainous courtiers who took him hostage, really isn’t helping. He’s in an unfamiliar city, in a bizarre hollow world, and he only has one friend. Well, that’s if he can call a snarky living skeleton with a penchant for stealing royal jewels a friend. What with every palace guard and a crazed assassin after the pair, the odds are stacked against them. Running out of time, luck, and options, it’s touch-and-go whether they’ll make it to Drome’s village and warn them of the horror coming their way. And then there’s the wizard. If only Drome hadn’t angered him too… So, is Drome in trouble? Yup. He’s screwed. If you like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Joe Abercrombie, you won't be able to put down the addictive Hollow series.
Daphne Mayne and the Hounds of Magic
Just when Daphne thought she could forget about magic, that it had nothing more to do with her, an elf crashes into her life and turns her world upside down. The elf - a girl Daphne’s age - needs the power of the Wightstone to save her people. Reluctantly, Daphne agrees to help, but their journey quickly becomes treacherous. Pursued by the Consistorium's Hounds of Magic, the two girls face danger at every turn. To make matters worse, the Wightstone loses its power, Daphne's magic disappears, and she falls ill with a mysterious sickness. The pair rely on their courage and wits to survive as Daphne's condition worsens, and the hounds of magic draw closer. Now, the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of an elf whose strength and intelligence are all that stand in the way of the forces of evil. Will she save both Daphne and her people, or will darkness triumph?
Daphne Mayne and the Goblin Quest
Desperate to save her dying brother, Daphne enters a forbidden forest to find rare berries that were said to hold a cure. But her mission of mercy takes an unexpected twist when she is seized by goblins who force her to join them on their secret quest. Daphne struggles to keep hope alive as she and her kidnappers clash with trolls, slavers, and monsters. Escape isn’t easy. Even less so when the goblin’s quest takes her into caves filled with deadly traps. With her freedom slipping away at every step, and her brother's life hanging in the balance, Daphne tries to cope with a bewildering magic power emerging inside her, and to find the strength and courage to prevent the goblins fulfilling their evil quest.
