The Crimson Road

Beskrivelse

A gripping dark gothic fantasy set in the same world as A. G. Slatter’s acclaimed novels All The Murmuring Bones, The Path of Thorns, and The Briar Book of the Dead. Follow Violet Zennor, a fierce fighter with a haunted past, as she faces deadly foes and unravels dark secrets.

A haunting tale of vampires, assassins, ancient witches, and the fight to break free from a cursed legacy.

Violet Zennor’s unusual upbringing saw her trained in brutal underground arenas, battling the worst criminals her father could find. Ruthless and skilled, she learned to kill-until her father’s death changes everything.

Now a wealthy heiress, Violet believes freedom is hers for the taking. But she soon discovers her father’s final plan: to send her into the Darklands, ruled by the terrifying Leech Lords, where her stillborn brother was taken years ago after being sold to a man marked by the mysterious Anchorhold.

Despite pressure from her father’s solicitor and the city’s bishop to fulfill this grim duty, Violet refuses. However, when two assassins come after her, it becomes clear that if she wants control over her own future, she must confront the chaos her father left behind.

On her perilous journey, Violet enlists the help of:

• Miren O’Malley, from the secretive Blackwater estate known for its rare and strange silver,
• Ellie Briar, the Briar Witch guarding the gateway to the Leech Lords’ realm,
• And Asher Todd of Whitebarrow, a man haunted by terrible deeds and the discovery of The Three Who Went Beneath.

Yet, ultimately, Violet must face the Darklands-and the Anchorhold-alone, where her story began and where it will reach its end. This mesmerizing and audacious tale plunges readers deep into Slatter’s dark, captivating fantasy world, weaving a story of danger, magic, and broken promises.
