Andrew Wratten's debut novel takes us on an epic journey, through uncharted lands, fraught with danger. Immortal and mythical creatures roam this land, from elves and dwarves to wizards, demons, colossi, orcs, and spiderkin. Each plays their part in the first installment of the Immortals series, where different communities must come together to achieve a common goal, and defeat a common enemy - but perhaps all is not as it seems.

This first book introduces us to Mannace, Render, and Jaal; an immortal "true" man, a wizard, and a dark elf. The three companions confront a world of conflict and tension; where magic and science, light and darkness, past and future,

tradition and invention, north and south all collide with violent or veiled intent. Each has their path, but if the Oracle has chosen wisely, they will all run towards a common, inescapable destiny.

I am a proud Kiwi, living in sunny Australia, with my beautiful Nigerian wife, Tessy, and our six amazing children. Family and friends mean everything ... and good food of course, and dogs, and embarrassingly, reality TV.One day on the train to work, I took my fantasy daydream and boldly typed my first paragraphs. Since that time, I remain amazed how the words reveal themselves and the tales evolve. It is a wonderful process to shape a story, witnessing the plot unfold, unexpectedly twist, and surprise even me in its audacious conclusion. The story belongs to the characters in it, and it is my job to help them be heard, understood, and celebrated for all their glorious traits and flaws. I am indeed a puppet of the Mad King, and like all the others in my books, I am dancing to his manic tune. I hope others enjoy the characters, their triumphs, and their misadventures, as much as I do.
