Tom Pollock’s new novel, The City’s Son, is published by Jo
Flecther Books in August (£12.99). It is the first volume in The Skyscraper Throne Trilogy:
“Expelled from school, betrayed by her best
friend and virtually ignored by her dad, who’s never recovered from the death
of her mum, Beth Bradley retreats to the sanctuary of the streets, looking for
a new home. What she finds is Filius Viae, the ragged and cocky crown prince of
London, who opens her eyes to the place she’s never truly seen.
But the hidden London is on the brink of
destruction. Reach, the King of the Cranes, is a malign god of demolition, and
he wants Filius dead. In the absence of the Lady of the Streets, Filius’
goddess mother, Beth rouses Filius to raise an alleyway army, to reclaim
London’s skyscraper throne for the mother he’s never known. Beth has almost
forgotten her old life – until her best friend and her father come searching
for her, and she must choose between the streets and the life she left behind.”
