The David Gemmell Award-shortlisted author of Age of Iron returns with the second book in his epic West of West trilogy, in which a mismatched group of refugees must battle animals and monsters, an unforgiving land and each other as they cross a continent to fulfill a prophecy.

Welcome to the Badlands. . .

Newly and uneasily allied, two tribes from different worlds set off across the Ocean of Grass. Their mission is to fulfill a prophecy and take Ottar the Moaner west of west, to save mankind.

In their way are the denizens of the Badlands, the most terrifying and powerful collection of murderers and monsters the world has ever seen.

The Wootah Hooter! Angus Watson is at it again, this is a genuinely fitting follow up to the excellent You Die When You Die.

Goodreads review by Dustin on June 07, 2020

4.5⭐️ I can’t get enough of this series. Angus Watson has crafted a sequel in The Land You Never Leave which is just as imaginative and exhilarating as the first book. Again, it’s kind of hard to describe these books. It’s like a mashup of Viking lore books with fantasy, Voltaire-like satire and farc......more
