WELCOME BACK TO ROTHERWEIRD
For four hundred years, the town of Rotherweird has stood alone, made independent from the rest of England to protect a deadly secret.
But someone is playing a very long game. An intricate plot, centuries in the making, is on the move.
Everything points to one objective - the resurrection of Rotherweird's dark Elizabethan past - and to one date: the Winter Equinox.
Wynter is coming . . .
A history-tragic-comedy all rolled into one, Rotherweird is intricate and crisp, witty and solemn: a book not unlike other books, but with special and dangerous properties. Line by line, silent and adroit, it opens a series of trap-doors in the reader's imagination
