The High King's Vengeance

(The Heir to the North) 'The beauty of this book, I think, is that it will work on two kinds of readers. Those of you who are just starting out on the marvellous journey that is fantasy will find a cracking adventure story, one that will encourage you to explore further in the genre. And those of you who have read every fantasy novel published since Tolkien will appreciate the way the book plays with your expectations.' Fantasy Faction (The Heir to the North) 'This is a book to read more than once, for the sheer pleasure of the writing and plotting. The Heir to the North is a story told with superb prose and characters and pace. Buy it, read it, read it again.' Dave Lee, http: //chaotopia-dave.blogspot.co.uk/ (The Heir to the North) 'This is no average coming of age fantasy tale, this is epic work. Steven has a wonderful writing style that is descriptive and allows the reader to to really envisage the story he is telling. The landscape of this story is gradually revealed (no info dump!) and allows what is quite a complex story to develop and emerge, an epic story with hint of a historical sweep is revealed and how enjoyable story that it is.' Peter Hutchinson, The Grimdark Files (The Heir to the North) 'Don't be fooled by the seemingly standard epic fantasy you might think this is. The Heir to the North is a surprising and beautifully crafted book that will no doubt stand apart from the crowd if enough people give it the chance it deserves.' Joel Cornah, author of The Sea Stone Sword (Piercing the Vale, Fox Spirit) 'one of the strongest stories in this anthology. A comically tragic tale of a spiritual awakening gone wrong. At first I thought it was going to be a straight comedic piece with the first person narrator getting increasing frustrated with over-amorous B&Q checkouts, but this is in service of a delightfully macabre twist which hits us as hard as the articulated truck...'
