It’s Grim Up North with Mike Brooks, John Gwynne and Thilde Kold Holdt

Welcome to worlds of endless nights and midnight suns.

The rich mythology and history of the Norse people have inspired the new epic fantasy stories of John Gwynne (The Shadow of the Gods) and Thilde Kold Holdt (Northern Wrath)

Meanwhile, Mike Brooks combines both Northern and Southern settings and cultures to create the truly epic world for his book The Black Coast.

Prepare yourself for vengeful gods, cold shores and epic battles.

About the authors:

John Gwynne is the author of The Faithful and the Fallen quartet and the Of Blood and Bone trilogy. He studied and lectured at Brighton University. He's been in a rock 'n' roll band, playing the double bass, travelled the USA and lived in Canada for a time.

Mike Brooks is the author of The God-King Chronicles epic fantasy series, beginning with The Black Coast; the Keiko series of grimy space-opera novels, DARK RUN, DARK SKY and DARK DEEDS; and various works for Games Workshop’s Black Library imprint, including BRUTAL KUNNIN and ALPHARIUS: HEAD OF THE HYDRA. He was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, and moved to Nottingham to go to university when he was eighteen, where he still lives with his wife, cats, and snakes. He worked in the homelessness sector for fifteen years before going full-time as an author, plays the guitar and sings in a punk band, and DJs wherever anyone will tolerate him. He is queer and partially deaf (no, that occurred naturally, and a long time before the punk band).

Thilde Kold Holdt is a writer of fantasy novels. Her first series, the Hanged God Trilogy, centres around Vikings and the Old Norse gods. She is on Twitter and Instagram.
