Ecko Burning

'Marks Ware as one to Watch' - The Independent on Sunday The Bard is gone, and with him Ecko's only possible way home. Told the grasslands are diseased and the blight is spreading, his companions demand his help. Together they seek weapons in a ruined city where both nightmare and hideous truth await them. Ruthless and ambitious, Lord Phylos has control of Fhaveon city, and is using its forces to bring the plains under his command. Back in London, the Bard is offered the opportunity to realise everything he has ever wanted - if he will give up his soul. As the blight spreads, Phylos's brutality escalates. When the people's anger finally erupts, the force of the violence threatens to destroy everything. Praise for Ecko Rising: 'A thrilling, genre-defying roller coaster ride.' Library Journal (starred review) 'Ware's writing style is a joy to read... long may Ecko rise.' Starburst 'Ecko Rising messes with your head in unexpected and exciting ways.' Mike Carey, author of the Felix Castor series 'I motored through this book. It's a page turner and I'll be getting hold of the next one.' Neal Asher, author of the Agent Cormac series 'The best debut novel I've read in years.' Andy Remic, author of Spiral 'Science fiction with the safety catch off. I hope she never runs out of ammunition.' Adam Nevill, author of Apartment 16
