The Copper Promise by Jen Williams, her first novel, is due
next February (Headline £13.99).
“There are some far-fetched rumours about the caverns
beneath the Citadel: some say the mages left their most dangerous secrets
hidden there; others, that great riches are hidden there; even that gods have
been imprisoned in its darkest depths. For Lord Frith, the caverns hold the key
to his vengeance. Against all the odds, he has survived torture and lived to
see his home and his family taken from him ... and now someone is going to pay.
For Wydrin of Crosshaven and her companion, Sir Sebastian
Carverson, a quest to the Citadel looks like just another job. There's the
promise of gold and adventure. Who knows, they might even have a decent tale or
two once they're done. But sometimes there is truth in rumour. Sometimes it
pays to listen. Soon this reckless trio will become the last line of defence
against a hungry, restless terror that wants to tear the world apart. And
they're not even getting paid.”
