When I began writing The Nightmare Incarnate, I wanted to create a different sort of fantasy story. In the following pages, you'll find no magic swords, dark lords or elven princes. Instead, be prepared to be immersed in a world of crime, raw emotion, and human nature at its most foul. In an impoverished Renaissance city on the sparkling southern coast of a once prosperous nation, a mobster, a revolutionary and a prince each set out to achieve what their heart desires. The revolutionary seeks to rob the city’s largest bank and use the proceeds to spark a revolt, the mobster seeks escape from the brutal Sidian slums and the prince wants to hunt down both the revolutionaries and the criminals who threaten the stability of the nation he will one day rule. As the city teeters between collapse and all-out revolt, our heroes' paths will collide but, for each of them to achieve their dreams, the other two must fall...The Nightmare Incarnate is Book One of The Renegade Saga, a new epic fantasy series for YA readers. Perfect for fans of gritty fantasy, action and adventure, and morally grey antiheroes. ______________________ “What I loved most? Nobody is safe. Not physically. Not morally. No one comes out clean. You’ll trust someone and regret it three chapters later. You’ll question motives, loyalty, and yourself....” ~ Celeste, USA “I could feel the Mediterranean air on me, and smell the rich glass of red in my hand...” ~ Olly, UK “What a great debut! The book takes us to a kingdom on the brink of bankruptcy and follows three very different protagonists who are all trying to take advantage of this crisis for themselves or the people. It is never quite clear who you are supposed to be rooting for...” ~ Jo, Germany
