Fantasy Book Critic: COVER REVEAL: Drown Deep By Phil Williams

Wild Wish has reluctantly left the front line behind. No more fighting. No more friends. But she’s about to get an invitation to a fight no one else dares touch.

There’s trouble in the Saints Mire, a strictly neutral land with deep religious history. Here, the secrets of the Prophets are preserved by the foreboding Ten Priories – isolated for centuries, steeped in myth, and now under attack.

A rogue Drail army of veterans, criminals and goblins has invaded, and a reckless company of Comity partisans are itching to stop them. The top brass want nothing to do with it, so it’s up to Wild Wish and her new band of ragged misfits to keep things from escalating.

She must brave the heart of a nightmare land harbouring great, hidden power – and even greater hidden threats. Secrets millennia in the making may be exposed – with the potential to change the very shape of the war.

But if Wish can find an opportunity to rebuild The Blood Scouts, maybe it’ll be worth it?

Drown Deep is a breakneck return to the Rocc and its epic global war: get ready for more heart-pumping action and enthralling characters from this unforgettably unsettling world.

The cover art is by Stefan Koidl and the book will be releasing around October of 2024.
