Richard Swan's forthcoming debut fantasy novel, The Justice of Kings (February 2022, Little Brown), has received two fantastic endorsements in the last week:
"A stunning piece of modern fantasy writing." R.J. Barker, author of The Bone Ships and Age of Assassins
"A marvelously detailed world with an engrossing adventure from a unique perspective. I enjoyed it!" K. S. Villoso, author of The Wolf of Oren-Yaro
Keep an eye out for the cover reveal, but in the meantime, check out the blurb below...
No man is above the law.
The Empire of the Wolf simmers with unrest. Rebels, heretics and powerful patricians all challenge the power of the imperial throne.
Only the Order of Justices stands in the way of chaos. Sir Konrad Vonvalt is the most feared Justice of all, upholding the law by way of his sharp mind, arcane powers and skill as a swordsman. In this he is aided by Helena Sedanka, his clerk and protege, orphaned by the wars that forged the empire.
When the pair investigate the murder of a provincial aristocrat, they unearth a conspiracy that stretches to the very top of imperial society. As the stakes rise and become ever more personal, Vonvalt must make a choice: will he abandon the laws he's sworn to uphold in order to protect the empire?

| Two debuts were published last week, and we are delighted these two very special books are now out in the world... The Spirit Engineer, by A. J. West, is based on the true story of Professor William Jackson Crawford and famed medium Kathleen Goligher. With a cast of characters including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini, this wonderful book conjures a haunted, twisted tale of power, paranoia and one ultimate, inescapable truth... |  |
