Description
Experience the journey of a young heroine through a wilderness of murder and myth...Young rebel warrior Amiel begins a deadly mission into uncharted forest lands. Her town is under threat by a mysterious warlord known only as Decius, who lurks among the trees. Soon he plans to march forth with his army, leaving only death and destruction. To save her homeland, Amiel must find and destroy Decius-even if it means sacrificing her life in the process.
But, as she journeys further from civilisation, Amiel's reality begins to shift. Myths of strange saints and powerful warriors that use forgotten techniques slowly become reality. In the dirt and shadows of the forest, familiar figures are twisted, with even holy men harbouring a rage in their hearts. Will Amiel's mission be victorious? Can she triumph over the evil Decius and save her homeland? She has to believe it will be so...

Person
Jonathan Watts is a copywriter and author, based in Bristol.
Jonathan was inspired to start writing at age 13 when he read "Ravenheart" by David Gemmell. Always fascinated by ancient folklore, he incorporated mythic figures and archetypes from his study of Classics into a fantasy framework to produce a tense and subversive tale.
This became his first novel, a dark twist on fantasy and mythology titled Bury Me Where They Fall, which was published in October 2019 by Arkbound.
His other inspirations include Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore and the music of Nick Cave, Greg Dulli and Leonard Cohen.
When not writing, Jonathan enjoys yoga, cooking, visiting historical ruins and seeing every live band he can manage to.
