A secret so dark is must never be rediscovered. A town where nobody can study its history. Now an Outsider has come - and his presence could upset everything . . . Welcome to Rotherweird.
Reissued to coincide with the release of its sequel "Wyntertide", the first book in the "Rotherweird" series introduces the distinct tone comparable to "Gormenghast" with a dash of Neil Gaiman through the story of an outsider arriving at the culturally isolated town, commanding enough wealth to buy it.
A mystical tale of suspense and adventure, mixed in with the macabre and
Tudor England. Andrew Caldecott's ability to create and shape worlds and the characters in them, draws the reader into
an intense narrative of plot and subtext that keeps you guessing.
Enchanting and beautifully written
