Joy is a gifted archer, a retired Olympian and former stuntwoman on a cult Japanese tokusatsu show. Raised by a feckless grifter, her home is Bodkins Point, a tiny country town which annually hosts an ultra-violent medieval festival called "Agincourt." There, the town and the townsfolk's reality is in a constant state of tug-of-war with their elaborate, 150 years running, parallel fiction.
In the aftermath of a terrible fire, Joy's past and the town's dark history are set on a collision course as she takes the furious road to revenge.
Game of Thrones meets Wake in Fright meets Kill Bill meets The Simpsons - Nock Loose is like nothing else in OzLit.
