Synopsis

Prepare to be utterly immersed in an impossibly rich world.

I shall not lie to you. It is a difficult thing you will do. Sometimes, it may be painful. You will be tested in ways you might struggle to conceive of. But give yourself to me properly, expend all that you have and I promise I shall carry you. I shall in turn offer you every pound and ounce of my own capacities. You will not be alone…

Ancient leviathans have stirred from their long slumber. Their scent song marks where they might be found, but only to those with the means to somewhat hear it: Sentinel Archivists.

Shay Bluefaltlow finds herself training to become such a specialist when she is forced into indentured servitude. Her new home, the city of Fivedock, is strange and bewildering, as are her new companions: a belligerent surgeon, a remarkable little boy, and a formidable Sentinel Archivist tasked with teaching Shay the terrifying ways of the trade.

Her unanticipated position requires forbidden knowledge, a sickening transformation and the strongest constitution. Shay is certain she is unequal to the prodigious task, but desperate to impress her superiors.

When war subsumes the Concord, the office of the Sentinel Archivist is threatened by a terrible betrayal. And Shay has secrets of her own…

Incredibly vivid, magical, with rich regency enchantment, and a bewitching touch of strangeness, Seeker is a deeply immersive first-person novel.

Naomi Novik meets Georgette Heyer and Bernard Cornwell in this sumptuous tale by the dazzling new voice in Fantasy, Samuel Griffin.

Griffin does for regency era fantasy what Robin Hobb did for medieval: this isn’t just a fiction, this is a living and breathing world you dunk yourself in. An intimate journey with real characters. With incredible, enchanting wordcraft, and a beating heart of a story that will leave you breathless.

This hardback first edition is signed by the author, features stunning cover art with gold foiling, end papers, and internal chapter illustrations. It will make the perfect gift for relatives, friends, or anyone with a taste for fantasy & history.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Samuel Griffin is the author of the deep and evocative flintlock fantasy series, 'The Sentinel Archives', debuting with 'Seeker', releasing 2024.

Prior to becoming an author, Samuel worked in several fields, studied many subjects, and has wandered much of the UK. But his wild imagination and playful inquisitiveness always taunted him, and eventually he gave in the fight, allowing himself to be dragged properly into the worlds of his dreams. He's not looked back since.

Samuel lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, with his partner; who is herself a commercial fiction editor and ghost writer; as well as their cat, who is not.
