2014 INDIES Winner - Bronze in Fantasy Fiction
'A thrilling story fraught with uncertainty and betrayal.' Publishers Weekly
In an epic and mystical tale that resonates with modern times, the young Eamon Goodman goes on a journey of discovery. A journey which sees him taking an increasingly pivotal role in the battle between the rival forces of the king and the master, and takes him from being a young soldier in his home of Edesfield to being a fast-rising hero in the dense and rotten city of Dunthruik.
Under the watchful eye of Lord Cathair, in the loving arms of Lady Alessia Turnholt, and torn between enemy forces, Eamon's experiences lead him to question the nature and true meaning of some of the most important things in life - love and friendship, loyalty and honour, and who he really is. But will the answers he finds lead him to become true to himself and true to his name? Will they lead him to become a good man?

The character development, descriptions, prose and story make this one of the best books I have read in a long long time. -- Haley L * Netgalley * The first book in this trilogy offers a thrilling story fraught with uncertainty and betrayal, asking readers to consider the nature of loyalty and to reflect on the difference between thought and action. * Publishers Weekly * "The Traitor's Heir is one of those hidden gems... that you wish more people knew about... an exciting new fantasy story that you don't want to miss." * The Book Plank * "Intriguing, engaging and engrossing." * The Bookbeard's Blog * `Fantasy works best when it relates to the real world, and young Eamon finds himself cast as a tormented whistleblower.' * Daily Mail *More details
