I’m thrilled to release the cover art and a wee tease of the plot for book 2 of The Rotstorm:

THE GAUNTLET AND THE BURNING BLADE

The book will be out next summer, and I can’t wait for you to check it out. With this book I wanted to build on the world and characters introduced in THE GAUNTLET AND THE FIST BENEATH and delve deeper into the mysteries of Morost and the unending rotstorm. Along the way there is action, chaos, magic, and adventure to be found. The stakes have never been higher- here’s a sneak peak at the description from the publisher!

The second thrilling instalment in Ian Green's Sunday Times Top 15 bestselling fantasy adventure series.

Break the chains. Hold your strength. Burn your foes.

Once a warrior of the Stormguard Commandos, Floré wrought horrors in the rotstorm to protect her people. She did her duty and swore to leave the bloodshed behind. But when her daughter, Marta, was kidnapped, Floré was forced to once again raise her gauntlet against the devils of Ferron to bring her home.

But still the rotstorm rages.

Marta is dying from the skein-magic she inherited from her father, and the Protectorate is weakened by the absence of the whitestaffs. The mystical order of healers and sages fled to their island citadel of Riven when strange orbs cut through the night.

Now Floré and her comrades must race to find a cure for Marta, to find the truth of the whitestaffs' betrayal, and to fight back against the encroaching children of the storm.

Floré has taken up her gauntlets and her sword to keep her people safe – but steel alone might not be enough...
