About this title

Review:

Rickman is an excellent writer, terrific on atmosphere * The Times * We don't praise our home-grown thriller writers enough, it's high time we praised Phil Rickman * Daily Mail * All Rickman's books are very high on my favourites list * Diana Gabaldon * No-one writes better than Phil Rickman of the shadow-frontier between the supernatural and the real world. * Bernard Cornwell * With his supernatural touch, a terrifying plot involving a necromancer, Glastonbury, King Arthur's bones, and superb research, Phil Rickman takes us back brilliantly into the dark world of the first Elizabethans. * Ariana Franklin *
