Concluding my series of location teaser images, in the run-up to the release of my new fantasy novel Ravenseed, here is the final location and cryptic clue: A monastery interior. Is this seemingly innocent location a simple resting place for the characters on their quest? Or do darker deeds take place here?

Over the next four days, in the run-up to the release of my new fantasy novel Ravenseed, I’m putting out a few images of location teasers with cryptic clues. The first is inside a cave looking out across a mountain range. There are three very different scenes in caves in the novel, all of them involving something supernatural. But this particular location isn’t a cave just anyone can enter.

In early 2018, I finished the first draft of an as-yet untitled fantasy novel. Six years and several rewrites later, it is finally ready for public consumption. Ravenseed is now available for pre-order on Kindle or paperback and will be released on Friday 17th of May.
This is a fairly big deal for yours truly, as fantasy is a genre into which I have not yet dared to tread (give or take the odd short story or novella). Ravenseed is a 113,000-word mystical epic of love, lust, betrayal, and vengeance. It’s mostly set in the Dark Ages, with a present-day parallel plot, and a third perspective also in the present. I’m extremely excited (and nervous) to put this story out into the world, as it is one of the most ambitious novels I’ve ever written. I do hope you enjoy it.
Between Monday and Thursday of next week, I’m previewing exclusive teaser images of certain locations in the novel, with a bit of cryptic commentary on each. In the meantime, ahead of a bigger introduction to the novel next Friday, here’s a preview of the cover, followed by the blurb on the back of the book.

From the author of Death Nest… A fantasy epic of love, lust, betrayal, and vengeance that will keep you riveted till the very end.
532 AD. Knights Sir Peter and Sir Matthew ride to battle, but when they take an ill-advised detour, the two friends find themselves involved in a quest to break a curse on Sir Matthew’s love, Elizabeth.
The quest sends them on a journey through Anglia, where they encounter magicians, spirits, gods, and dangers beyond their wildest dreams – from without and within.
In the present day, as teenager Fay Pendleton reads an ancient account of the two knights, scars start appearing on her face. Despite her ongoing disfigurement, she becomes obsessed with discovering the outcome of the quest, and her link to this mysterious story.
You can pre-order Ravenseed from Amazon on Kindle here (in the UK) and here (in the US). Paperbacks will be available from the 17th May.
