After all, they know more about the business of war than a seventeen-year-old girl ever will.But Solace has the sight, like her mother who foretold her own death and her mute, troubled brother, and the sight, with lunatic whispers and dread nightmares, warns her that fire and blood are coming to consume her ancestral home.When the village beyond the woods burns one bitter midwinter night, her father, the Baron, reassures her it is just an accident: a lazy peasant not watching a candle or a spark from an untended fire. Men ride from their castle to help, but no one believes the war has finally arrived on their doorstep…Apart from Solace and her brother, Torben.The fire has come as her premonitions warned, and blood will follow on its heels. But her father will not hear of portents and visions with the witchfinders ever eager to feed their pyres.But the old soldiers are right; the war hasn’t come to The Wolf’s Tower. Beneath a harrowing moon, something far worse has arrived on the winter’s freezing breath.And it has come for her…So begins a dark journey across a war-torn empire where religious fervour fuels a savage conflict, and the line between humanity and monstrosity blurs to nothing.Book One of The Night’s Road – the perilous pursuit of an evil threatening to consume a world not yet born and the bitter price vengeance twists from broken hearts and lost souls.
