In the wastes beyond the Last City, all is quiet. Everyone has heard of the Hundred Blessed. Of the Final War between the Empire of Blue and Green and the Empire of Red and Ivory. Of what they did. But the war is never over. You can’t outrun your past. And you can’t hide from what you’ve done, no matter how hard you might try. All you can do is walk the Path the God has set out for you. And try to shut out the screams, and the sound of bones breaking beneath your feet.

Punk, poet, extrovert, accountant, and reformed mandarin, Joel is a cuddly teddy bear really. He lives in the woods of Hertfordshire with two boys and one wife. He writes fantasy with a sardonic but romantic vein, heavy on politics, neurodiversity, LGBTQ themes and menace. He also writes poetry, science-fiction short stories, picture book scripts (with significantly less menace).
