Have you been itching to return to the Rocc? Well, the time has come. A WINTER’S MERCY, the third book in the acclaimed Blood Scouts series is OUT TODAY, everywhere, waiting for you to dive back into the brutal One War with Wild Wish and friends.
This entry’s about half the length of the first two, but for my money packs some of the heaviest punches so far, as the Blood Scouts take on a seemingly simple job to round out the year, only to find they’re entering darker territory than ever.
We’ve got more magic, more guns, more banter in the deep, dark woods, and the first appearances of the chilling Stranded.
But don’t take it from me – the initial reviews are rolling in with some flattering things to say:
- “A Winter’s Mercy continues what I have come to expect from this series: a dark, muddy, and deeply human military fantasy that manages to be both brutal and heartwarming… If you have read the first two books, this one is a must. It is a strong continuation of everything that makes the Blood Scouts special and a satisfying next step for Wish and her squad.” – Fantasy Faction
- “I loved everything about this emotional rollercoaster of a book – the action, the darkness, the humour, the humanity, and the hope. What a brilliant series this is shaping up to be.” – Queen’s Book Asylum
- “one hell of an action-packed gut punch… Excellent pace, with fantastic characters, solid action, and some unexpected twists. Great addition to an already thrilling series!” – Damien Larkin, author of Big Red

And don’t forget, if anyone’s around for World Fantasy Con in Brighton this weekend, come say hello, we’ll have a table full of books to sign and sell. I’ll also be doing a panel on genre-blending!
