About this ebook

Supernatural agents, Djinn, rats: here are three great new fantasy novels at a great price.

THE ROOK: 'The body you are wearing used to be mine.' So begins the letter Myfanwy Thomas is holding when she awakes in a London park surrounded by bodies all wearing latex gloves. An astonishing fantasy debut about the secret organization keeping Britain safe from supernatural threat.

THE DESERT OF SOULS: Amid the trackless sands of ancient Arabia, two companions – a swordsman and a scholar – search for the ruins of the lost city of Ubar. Before their quest is over, they will battle necromancers and animated corpses, they will confront a creature that has traded wisdom for the souls of men since the dawn of time and they will fight to save a city's soul.

THE TWYNING: A story of love, war and rats, pitting their world against their mortal enemy: humankind.

The Twyning. The prose is poetic - very well written. The subject is bloody in parts but beautiful overall. Possibly the strongest in the trilogy. The Desert Of Lost Souls. An Arabian Nights-era epic fantasy novel which I was surprised to enjoy as much as I did. I guess we've all enjoyed those old tales when young and this appeals in the same way. The Rook. It's worth the hard work it takes getting into this, a good read. My biggest complaint is that it's about a "very British" establishment and then uses the word "gotten" about 10 times per page! Ugh...
