A Wild Chase Through Elizabethan England

Thomas the Rhymer, immortal, shape-changing foe of the diabolical Elf Queen and her merciless Yvag knights, continues his one-man war into the reign of England’s “Faerie Queen”—Elizabeth I. When he learns of an assassination plot against Elizabeth, the Rhymer intervenes, only to find himself the object of the special attention of the Queen’s spymaster, Francis Walsingham.

Walsingham blackmails the Rhymer into joining his intelligence network. Allied with Walsingham’s minions and a mysterious shape-changing stage actress, Thomas finds he must deal with Mary, Queen of Scots, scheming Jesuits, and Italian bankers as well as further Yvag attempts against Elizabeth. He moves in the circles of William Shakespeare, John Dee, Giordano Bruno, and Christopher Marlowe, desperately defeating one conspiracy after another in defense of the throne, leading him to an inevitable final confrontation with the Elf Queen, in which to survive he must destroy the source of her power . . . and to do that, he must enter the mouth of Hel itself.

After all the sacrifice, will the Rhymer find peace? And, perhaps, even love?

Industry Reviews

Praise for Rhymer:
“Gregory Frost brings real magic to Rhymer! The novel is a mystical blend of ancient folklore, new ideas, dynamic action, and real surprises. Very highly recommended!” —Jonathan Maberry, NY Times best-selling author of Kagan the Damned

“I love this book! Rhymer is flawless. The plot is compelling, the action is riveting and the prose is perfect. True Tom is a hero for the ages--and one you can believe in. Gregory Frost has taken Celtic fantasy and made it new. No, better than new. He has made it exciting again. You will not encounter a finer fantasy novel this year.” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Time best-selling author of Kagan the Damned

“Ring bells and throw confetti from the rooftops! Gregory Frost’s Rhymer is a wonder and a delight and easily the best thing I’ve read in years. I recommend it to literally everyone in the world. It’s just that good.” —Michael Swanwick, Hugo Award-winning author of Chasing the Phoenix

Praise for Rhymer: Hoode:
“Intricately plotted and peopled with fantastic characters both real and imagined, Gregory Frost’s Rhymer: Hoode occupies a fresh space in the legend of Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest. Book Two of the Rhymer Trilogy, Hoode takes aim at blending real history with science fiction, and hits the bullseye . . . Very highly recommended.” —Rick Wilber, author of Alien Morning and Alien Day
