Coming soon!
'Wyrm-galdr', The second book in the Parallel Realm series will be published this autumn.
I've been scribbling furiously since December, working on 'Wyrm-galdr', which describes the continuing challenges Drew must overcome as he tries to find his way through the parallel realm and learn to use his powers.
He encounters new characters, some dangerous, some delightful and one or two frankly terrifying. Of course Archer, Traggheim and Garm continue to feature, along with many of the other characters from 'Touchpaper'.
‘A bloodcap, an angelus and a Jack Russell terrier. They’re all I had by me to face mortal combat with the Queen of the Ælves.
I’d be dead in minutes…’
The historic streets of Edinburgh hide a parallel realm of shadowy killers, vicious ælves and deranged shades. All that stands between them and the unsuspecting populace are a daemon called Archer and the group of angelii he’s feuding with.
Drew Macleod is caught in the middle. Someone, somewhere is hunting him. But why? Delving deeper into this parallel realm, Drew finds allies in a feisty herbalist, an ancient creature in disguise and an old clock-maker - but are any of them really who they seem to be?
Touchpaper takes us on an exciting journey in the footsteps of Neverwhere and Rivers of London.
