(Silver Sun Books June 25, 2018)
, 1 edition
In the last city on Earth, death is just a step into the trees.
Readers' Favorite ✭✭✭✭✭: "The Gilded King is an amazing tale of adventure, friendship, and loyalty with a tone reminiscent of fairy tales and a unique fantasy spin on vampires in a journey so complex and addictive you'll immediately want the next one."
In the Blue, the world’s last city, all is not well.
Julia is stuck within its walls. She serves the nobility from a distance until she meets Lucas, who believes in fairytales that her world can’t accommodate. The Blue is her prison, not her castle, and she’d escape into the trees if she didn’t know that contamination and death awaited humanity outside.
But not everyone in the Blue is human, and not everyone can be contained.
Beyond the city’s boundaries, in the wild forests of the Red, Cameron has precious little humanity left to lose. As he searches for a lost queen, he finds an enemy rising that he thought long dead. An enemy that the humans have forgotten how to fight.
One way or another, the walls of the Blue are going to come down. The only question is what side you’ll be on when they do.
✭✭✭✭✭ It blurs the lines between so many sub-genres of SFF: dystopian, post-apocalyptic, quest fantasy, zombies, vampires, romance, mystery… I loved it. – A Cat, A Book and A Cup of Tea
✭✭✭✭✭ Jaffrey manages to put a compelling new twist on vampire myth. – Lozzy’s Things
✭✭✭✭✭ It is a fantastic read, rich with colourful and diverse characters, incredible imagery and powerful storytelling. – Crown of Ice and Roses
