Synopsis

Full of David Wragg’s unique blend of humour, heart, and high stakes, is the epic next instalment in the Tales of the Plains trilogy. Seeking a better life, Ree and Javani have travelled west into the mountains, and left their pasts – and their troubles – behind. But new places bring new problems, and when they stumble across a lone traveller under bandit attack, they make the mistake of lending a hand. Forced to take refuge in the traveller's village, they quickly find allies among the lush, wooded hills. But then the true nature of the bandits is revealed. With winter approaching and a vengeful company of mercenaries circling like wolves, Ree and Javani must uncover the secrets of this peaceful valley … or risk the ruin of it all. "Wragg's brand of fantasy deserves its own name: grassroots fantasy. Small in scale, large in heart, with underdog heroes you can't help but root for." "A tale full of heart: heart warming, wrenching and stopping in equal measure. I love Wragg's wild, western-inspired world and its rabble of humorously and sensitively crafted characters, the kind that keep you company long after reading." " Peter Newman, Gemmell Award-winning author of and

Logan, author of ‘Book 2 of the Tales of the Plains sees higher stakes, a bigger vista, a badder villain, a taller Javani, and even more classic Wragg one-liners. A fun-filled romp with a serious heart and a cast of loveable rogues.’ Anna Stephens, author of the Godblind trilogy and Songs of the Drowned ‘Diamond wit, blade-sharp dialogue and a cast of characters so compelling I’d give my right hand to save them were they real… this is not just Wragg’s best book, but everything I adore about modern fantasy in one volume.’ Ed Crocker, author of Epic fantasy trilogy PRAISE FOR DAVID WRAGG: ‘Reminds me of Abercrombie’s THE BLADE ITSELF’ Nicholas Eames, author of KINGS OF THE WYLD "A grimdark, no magic, thriller-paced western fantasy, filled with outrageous dark humor and razor-sharp prose…It is just so much fun."
