SABRE is for fans of Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin but  set to sea, with a dose of The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang, the grit of the First Law series or The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie, and the perilous high-stakes adventures of Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, all thrown into a unique Gothic era.

The Night Devils rule the seas without mercy.

​

For two centuries, they have held the Merithian Empire at bay, binding them to an ocean of blood.

​

Yet, the unit faces disbandment for its growing power and brutality. And when the vice admiral mysteriously vanishes, order falls to the infamous Commander Grenyard - a sailor feared for his searing hatred and cruelty.

​

Thrust into this storm is ten-year-old, Todd Witherow. Conscripted into his late brother’s squadron, Sabre, Todd must endure war and survive Grenyard’s wrath, whilst concealing a secret deemed punishable by death.

​

Back home, their kingdom edges towards ruin... The industrial revolution has been accelerated by a precious new resource, hycinthium-lapis. But this awakens dark ambitions. Corrupt lords desire supremacy, tainted Night Devils seek dominion and King Oborus clings to his reign.

​

Only one man may prevent the slaughter: Todd’s imprisoned father and disgraced knight of the realm, Sir Alan Witherow. Under oath, three veterans embark upon a perilous journey to rescue him, so he may help foil a revolution and see his son returned.​ But time is short...

 

Their lives, the fate of their realm, lay in the hands of the legendary Sabres…

This book is a brutal blend of dark fantasy, set in a Gothic era, with elements of steampunk and the supernatural.
