Cyrus Darian and the Ghastly Horde
(2012)(The second book in the Cyrus Darian series)
A novel by Raven Dane
Cyrus Darian and the Ghastly Horde. In this eagerly awaited sequel to the Victorian Steampunk Society Best Novel of 2011 our favourite anti-hero is back! And this time he's acquired an army of adoring followers from the netherworld. Share his adventures as he struggles to extricate himself using Steampunk technology and a tiny dose of the occult.
"The only thing stopping Cyrus Darian from being a true hero is himself. The idea that he might possibly be a good person and a trustworthy friend, who cares about anyone other than himself terrifies him. It's so obvious in the effort he makes to sabotage his relationships with his companions. When one finds oneself attempting to psychoanalise a fictional character in a book in this way, the author must be doing something right. There is a lot more to be discovered about Cyrus Darian and his motivations. I can't wait!" David Brzeski reviewing for the British Fantasy Society
