Head of Zeus
The Sea Rises
The Sea Rises by A.J. Smith
 Form and Void, 3

The epic conclusion to a new trilogy from one of the most exciting voices in British fantasy.

The glass breaks, the sword falls, the sea rises.

Lord Marius Cyclone faces an unimaginable danger. The mighty legions of Santago Cyclone – known as the Bloodied Harp – and King Oliver Dawn Claw will be upon the Dark Harbour in less than a day, and truce seems impossible, even as the end of the world of Form creeps ever nearer.

But the tide waits for no man. Marius has only one choice if his people are to survive: flight, into the Void.

Meanwhile, a primal power awakens. The Sunken God has lived through many ages; watched countless civilisations rise and fall. And he will not let his quarry flee without a fight.

Praise for The Glass Breaks:

'Best described as George R.R. Martin meets H.P. Lovecraft, The Glass Breaks is a fine example of British fantasy writing at its most entertaining' Guardian

REVIEWS
PRAISE FOR A.J. SMITH:

'Best described as George R.R. Martin meets H.P. Lovecraft, The Glass Breaks is a fine example of British fantasy writing at its most entertaining' Guardian.

'Sieges, catapults, battles, longswords, beheadings a-plenty, profanity and rather bloody mayhem. Brilliant' SFFWorld.

'High fantasy, military exploits, and touches of an almost Lovecraftian mythos' Publishers Weekly.

'Epic fantasy at its scary, fun, sarcastic, shock-laden best' The Bookbag.

'Fans of George R.R. Martin and Joe Abercrombie will find much to like in this bloody, grimdark fantasy'
