Blood And Blade NewCon Press Novella Set 6
Four books, each containing a tale of epic fantasy squeezed within the covers of a novella. Four independent stories by four outstanding authors, linked only by their cover art.
There are four sons of Lot at court and Sir Gaheris knows himself to be the least of them. Yet the charismatic and headstrong young knight Sir Lamorak looks up to him, despite more obvious choices, and when Lamorak catches his mother’s eye, Gaheris knows there’s trouble brewing. Soon he finds himself at the centre of family tensions, deceit and tragedy. Can he prevent the bloodshed that seems inevitable?
Kari, Sperring, the award-winning author of Living With Ghosts and The Grass King’s Concubine, delivers a powerful tale of passion and intrigue featuring some of the lesser known members of King Arthur’s court.
Available as a paperback edition and as a numbered limited edition hardback signed by the author.
"Sperring really gets into the dynamics of the Orkney royal family, to produce one of the most satisfying and sympathetic pictures of Gaheris I have ever seen... A really excellent short Arthurian novel." - Amazon reviewer
"There's quite a bit of violence and tragedy in this story. However, it also made me laugh out loud during several scenes. The interactions between Gaheris and his brothers Gawain, Agravaine, Gareth, and Medraut in particular are frequently hilarious...when they aren't tense, ominous, and/or breathtakingly sweet." - LibraryThing reviewer
"Kari Sperring's prose is elegant, her storytelling impeccable, Gaheris is a sympathetic character. I would have been happy to spend more time with him." - Amazon reviewer
