The
Black Mausoleum by Stephen Deas is available soon
from Gollancz (£12.99).
“Two years have passed since the events of
the Order of the Scales. Across the
realms, dragons are still hatching…
Skorl is an Ember, a soldier trained from
birth to fight dragons. He is a living weapon, one-shot only, saturated with
enough dragon-poison to bring down a monster all on his own. Misanthrope,
violent and a drunk, to fulfil his purpose and slay a dragon, means to be
eaten. Now Skorl has a choice: he can hang for his crimes, or he can go with
the last of the Adamantine Men, fighting against an enemy he was born to face.
Rat is an Outsider. He's on the run and
he's stumbled onto something that's going to make him rich beyond all his
dreams. It's just a shame that the end of the world has started without him.
Kataros is an alchemist, one of the order
responsible for keeping the dragons in check. One of the order that has just
failed, and disastrously so.
Two men, one woman. One chance to save the
world from a storm of dragons…”
