Alan Baxter recommends

Empire of Blood and Sand (2021)
(Jael Crowfeeder, book 1)
Alister Hodge
"Part grimdark epic of political machinations in a darkly realised broken world, part exploration of the trauma of war and the trials of identity. With monsters and magic. Compelling stuff."

Air and Dust (2019)
(Fearing, book 3)
John F D Taff
"A powerful book that will stand out for a long time. A new bar has been set for fear!."

Contest (2019)
(Dane Maddock, book 11)
David Wood
"An adrenaline-fueled thrill ride!."
