The Copper Promise: Ghosts of the Citadel is the first part in a series of fantasy novellas:

The Citadel of Creos: silent, forbidden, haunted. No person in their right mind would attempt to explore it, but then, as Wydrin was fond of saying, adventurers are rarely in their right mind, especially when large amounts of coin are involved.

For the young Lord Frith, the secrets within are his key to a bloody revenge; for Sebastian, exiled from his order for crimes he’d rather not talk about, thank you very much, it is a distraction from his recent disgrace. And Wydrin? For Wydrin it means fortune and fame, or at least the seeds of a good story she can embellish later.

But something ancient and hungry lies restless in the hidden depths of the Citadel, and the long years of its imprisonment are nearly at an end. The three adventurers are about to find out that ghosts are the least of their problems.

Fun, quick reads full of everything that makes sword and sorcery my favourite genre, the world of The Copper Promise is a place I hope to be spending a lot of time in...

Reviews

There have been a number of very cool reviews on Amazon; here's a few elsewhere on the web.

Colin F. Barnes of the City of Hell anthology had a sneak preview of the novella, and you can see his lovely review here. 

Mr Jim Moon talks about short form fantasy and the golden age of the fantastical tale.

Matthew S. Dent, a clever young chap who writes short stories (we had one on the blog at Halloween) talks about The Copper Promise and other fantasy related things.

I was extremely chuffed to be reviewed over at Graeme's Fantasy Book Review!

And there's also a rather lovely write-up over at I Will Read Books, thanks to Erik Lundqvist.
