The Siege of Lothbrook
​
The city of Lothbrook is doomed. It is only a matter of time before the Bailic armies break through the walls and unleash great violence upon the city’s innocent subjects. However, the king’s alchemist has concocted a surprise for the Bailic hoard. He has infected the citizens with the harrowing ability to rise from the dead and enact savage revenge. Of course, he told no one about his little plan so when the finance minister kidnaps the king to force a truce it all goes very badly. And then there is the sergeant of the guard Otto Grunt. A fierce warrior known as the Beast of the Tyne and feared by all, except his mother. This hulking brute is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure his mum survives the siege. This leaves Anamara, a gifted actress, obsessed with fame and to her delight has been given the gift to control the city’s growing undead population. They are an unlikely trio but find they will need each other if they are going to save thier city and themselves.
The Final Name
It was technology not magic or brute strength that won the Great War. Humanity prevailed and sequestered the orcs into a single city while the elves were scattered and forced into squalor. However, for a new generation of nobles this is not enough. The very fact that orcs exist is a threat and thus must be extinguished. Old hatreds bubble to the surface and a kingdom once at peace finds itself on the precipice of a new war. Unfortunately, the balance is in the hands of a spoiled price, an old warrior orc, and an orphaned elf—none of which seem to keen on the prospect of peace.

"Inferno Dawn (The Final Name) is a riveting fantasy thriller that stokes the interest of the reader from the first words... The divisions that compose this universe bear striking resemblance to the modern world, which makes the book that much more cogent. An excellent read."

I wrote this book as a bit of a passion project for my history and economics students. It's a quick read that is meant to be fun and even a little educational.
