NEW – A compelling and original Epic Fantasy Fiction novel that will fire your imagination.
‘The Lords of Blood and Honey’ is set in a perilous new world at once familiar, and yet disturbingly different from our own. Cardinal Oblong, Primate of the Holy Church of Afterwards, and Lord Chillhide, supported by a powerful group of nobles, both covet the Crown. Sworn against them stands the towering figure and intellect of Lord Hardknot, the 967th Keeper of the Royal Honeybees; a man driven by love of nature and hatred for the Church’s creed of suffering. He seeks Restoration of the outlawed Honeyist faith and has summoned evil beings to the Deep Hives to aid his complex ambitions.
Living within the gathering storm is Mr Punsworth Pooter, a young man with worries of family and a new practice. When Lord Rootsby, a strange and aged noble, visits his office one day, Pooter is tasked with a deadly mission.
With the King dead and the Queen cast, ambition and treachery have found fuel to burn. Ancient and evil forces now vie for supremacy over body and soul once more. When the Royal Honeybees are drawn from the city by a powerful new scent, Pooter follows them, and quickly becomes embroiled in a perilous quest. He must find and save the true Queen, a young girl unaware of the powers that are gathering around her.
But dark forces are waiting to greet him.
