Description

'Intricate and crisp, witty and solemn: a book with special and dangerous properties.' - Hilary Mantel

Twelve children, gifted far beyond their years, banished by their queen and given sanctuary at Rotherweird. Some say they are the golden generation; some say the devil's spawn. But everyone knows there is something to be revered - and feared.

Four and a half centuries on, the town of Rotherweird is still bound by the Elizabethan laws that keep it isolated from the rest of England, any study of its past forbidden.

Then an outsider arrives: a man of unparalleled wealth and power, enough to buy the town of Rotherweird - deep-buried secrets and all.

Regarded as perhaps Britains leading libel silk, Andrew Caldecott QC sets aside his duties at the bar to deliver a brilliant, fully-rounded fantasy with a simply stunning premise. Described by the Independent as Harry Potter for grown-ups and an entertaining and hugely funny history, mystery, sci-fi, fantasy caper, Rotherweird is an entirely mesmerising, entertaining and glisteningly original story from a talented new voice in fiction. It is followed by the 2018 sequel, Wyntertide.
