God Save the Queen by Kate Locke is
published next month by Orbit (£7.99):
“The Year is 2012 – and Queen Victoria
still rules with an immortal fist. She’s the undead matriarch of a Britain
where the Aristocracy is made up of werewolves and vampires, where goblins live
underground and mothers know better than to let their children out after dark.
A world where technology lives side by side with magic, where being nobility
means being infected with the Plague (side-effects include undeath) and
Hysteria is the popular affliction of the day. Xandra Vardan is a member of the
elite Royal Guard, and it’s her duty to protect the Aristocracy. But things get
complicated when her sister goes missing. Xandra will not only realise she’s
the prize in a dangerous power struggle – but she’ll also uncover a conspiracy
that threatens to topple the empire itself.”
Also due next month from Orbit is The Fate
of the Dwarves (£9.99). This is the fourth instalment in the epic fantasy from
international bestselling author Markus Heitz.
“For the last time, the dwarves are going
to war – and the outcome will decide the fate of their race. There has been no
word from the brave warrior Tungdil since the vicious battle at the Black
Abyss. Dragons, magicians, and the malevolent älfar have advanced far into the
kingdom of Girdlegard, ruthlessly seizing vast areas of land. The dwarves seem
to be facing their next battle with little hope of survival. But then the
inexplicable happens. A dwarf dressed in black armour returns from the abyss
with a formidable army in tow. He calls himself Tungdil, and for his most loyal
friend Ireheart and his allies, this means a new hope. But soon doubts begin to
arise . . . Could this really be Tungdil, or is this warrior following his own
dark agenda? It is a question of the future of Girdlegard – and the future of
all the dwarves.”
