Luke Scull's review of Daughter of Crows (The Academy of Kindness, #1) 5/5: This is my eleventh Mark Lawrence novel. After hearing from the man himself how it was going to be a return to grimdark (or at least both grim and dark) and reading an early draft of the opening ...

"This is a brutal, brutal book: in many ways darker even than PRINCE OF THORNS."

This is how it starts - but then...

@lukescull.bsky.social's new horror, Hostile, is out today.

First he spoils pets for you, then he spoils going to the zoo. The bastard.

A great read, and not what you think it is to start.

HOSTILE releases today! It's my first novel in 9 years. At times, I was unsure I would ever write another book. Well, I got there in the end! Grimdark Magazine called it "a deceptively deep thriller on par with the best work of Catriona Ward or Gemma Amor."

I hope you enjoy it!

My horror novel, HOSTILE launches in 3 days! To celebrate, I'm giving away a signed proof. For a chance to win, answer this question: if every form of animal life in the UK were to turn hostile and began attacking humans, which would pose the greatest threat? Best answer wins!

Neverwinter Nights 2 is getting a remaster on July 15. I was lead writer and designer on the third expansion, Mysteries of Westgate, which is included in the package. It'll be fun seeing a whole new generation of players introduced to the game!

Got my hands on this yesterday - The Last Vigilant by Mark A. Latham. "David Gemmell meets The Name of the Rose" quotes fantasy great Anthony Ryan. I'm a big fan of Orbit's continued commitment to publishing traditional epic fantasy.
