The Siege of Lothbrook

About the Book

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 that they will need each other if they are going to save their city and themselves.
