'A bloody page-turner' Mail on Sunday

They call him Felix. A lost soldier without a memory and now a brutal battle to win.

For fans of Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden, a spectacular debut where honour and duty, legions and tribes clash in bloody, heart-breaking glory . . .

A blood-soaked page-turner

Gives Rome's legionaries a contemporary voice - this is brutal, audacious and fast paced writing

Historical fiction written by a real war veteran who knows all there is to know about blood and bonding in battle. An earthy and powerful read

What Albert renders on the page is audacious: with resounding success, she keeps a firm grip on her characters and their stories, and her prose weaves a magic of its own, animating the ever-expanding fantastical premise through lyrical language, striking metaphor, and a mastery of tone that forces readers to feel the magic along with the underlying emotional stakes.

Melissa Albert deftly weaves her magic once again between our world and the fairy tale realm of the Hinterland. The Night Country is a new modern classic filled with wondrous delights and daring forays into the dark. Not to be missed!

The Night Country is so deliciously creepy?the kind of puzzle box nightmare you have to see through to the end. One of the most unputdownable books I've read in a long time.

Praise for The Hazel Wood

This eerie debut YA novel puts such a terrifying twist on classic bedtime stories, you'll not sleep a wink

Simultaneously enticing and fearsome, much like the Hazel Wood of the title ... insidiously beautiful

A bewitching, elegant blend of contemporary thriller and dark fantasy

MAGICAL, MESMERISING AND INVENTIVE

THE HAZEL WOOD KEPT ME UP ALL NIGHT . . . as I fell completely into the dark and beautiful world within its pages. Terrifying, magical, and surprisingly funny, it's one of the very best books I've read in years

A WINDING, CREEPY, INSIDIOUSLY DELICIOUS NOVEL. UTTERLY SPECTACULAR - I read it in one sitting

THIS BOOK WILL BE YOUR NEXT OBSESSION. Welcome to the Hazel Wood, where bad luck is a living thing, princesses are doomed, and every page contains a wondrously terrible adventure - it's not safe inside these pages, but once you enter, you may never want to leave.

Katz's debut is one that will have readers gripped from the very first words until the last - and a book that will stay with you for a long while afterwards.

[A] smart debut, both compelling and disturbing, delivered with the kind of confidence that makes me keen to see what Katz will come up with next.

[G]ripping debut … Here’s a page-turner you’ll devour before the week is out

A razor sharp psychological deconstruction of the motivations, regrets and secrets behind a picture-perfect façade.

White-knuckle ride

I really wanted to just press the book into anyone’s hands and say ‘please read this’! [...] An important read

Readers hungry for an in-depth study of a man searching for control, power and ownership will find satisfaction in A Good Man. But caveat emptor - this story inevitably hurtles at the end towards a chilling finale

This stellar debut from Ani Katz had us gripped from the beginning.
