“In days gone by there were places you could sell a shadow. Their owners never felt the lack, but believe me when I say you never want to hear a shadow scream.” The city of Umbra is powered by something far less wholesome than the steam and gas that run through its grimy pipes. When Edmund Tyler is forced to flee his drunken father and sleep outside the slag works he cannot imagine that this will lead to a chance encounter with a disembodied shadow, Charlotte. Together they must thwart the machinations of a mad scientist, reunite the shadow with her body and ultimately save the gloom-...

They say it’s lonely at the top, but try getting a century to yourself in middle management. The war between good and evil is over – spoiler: evil WON – now all that’s left is for the forces of darkness to settle into their thousand-year dominion of a blighted continent… Except… no one really knows who’s in charge, how to build anything (apart from the gnomes), or what Soiled Red is made of. The wizard Glandoff is still at large and rumours abound of dwarf song in the crags… who would expect barbershop from the perpetually unshaven? Ithgar Ornac, Breaker of Kings, Scourge of...

THE KING IS DEAD, SOMETHING STIRS IN THE NORTHEN WOODS. Wyatt and his companions have survived De Lomprey’s machinations, but the patronage of Duchess Devrack may prove a double-edged sword, catapulting the companions into a world of sorcery and intrigue.

Wyatt struggles to come to terms with his gifts in order to stand any chance of protecting the ...

The continent of Seg is old and bloated with such tales and many are the tales told of Akna, thief of dreams, and gold when he can get it. Akna, slayer, Niskar’s prodigal son, master and servant of the demon stone, welcomes you to these fleeting visions of his life and his world.

A collection of poems by author Toby Bennett.

The old world is dying, humans that the fey once mocked as primitive savages have thrown back the older races and established dominion on the earth, but there is no retreat for the defeated. Even the small realm that they have managed to seal from humanity is choked by the smoke and radiation leaking in from the world the fey left behind. Few children are born and those that are rarely live past a sunrise. A desperate Sidhe queen sees that the only way to have a child is to mix her blood with the beasts that destroyed her people. Her sister cannot stomach this betrayal of their ancient ...

It has long been accepted that nothing good comes out of the wastes. The catastrophe, which left the world choking on cinders for forgotten centuries buried many truths, but that much wisdom remained intact. Still, no one alive could be expected to appreciate the significance of the silver-haired youth who strolled out of the Dunlands, leaving the town of Ruckfield ruined in his wake. This interloper, Wyatt, represents both hope and bane for the people of the Union. The young mage’s origins are shrouded, but there is no doubt he holds a spark that has not been seen for generations. With ...

In 1965 the authorities drew back the veil on the unwholesome events that took place on the Fullen reserve. Five bodies were discovered in the first day, the prime suspect was the heir to one of Britain’s largest fortunes, a man who didn’t say a word from the time he was arrested until he was found dead in his cell. There has been much speculation about what really happened, talk of experiments and occult ritual but the facts about what happened on the island have been scarce and contradictory, until now. The tale you are about to be told goes back nearly a century and the events that ...
