Synopsis

You don't always get the hero you want. Sometimes you get the villain you need.

After Breed, a thief assassin of small renown is chased by a dragon, tricked by a demon, almost killed by a psychopathic gang boss, and hunted by a ferocious spider, life really takes a turn for the worse.

Sentenced to five years bonded servitude to a one-handed priest magician, Breed must find the hammer of the ancient hero known only as The Hammer of the North within a year and a day...
.
So, with only a drug-addicted vagrant, a rat-faced child, and a timid priest for backup, Breed sets out for the mighty city of Valen and the tomb of the Hammer.

What could possibly go Wrong?

Dangerous to Know is the first novel in The Chronicles of Breed, a epic fantasy series that is fast-paced, brutal, and laced with dark humour. Perfect for readers who enjoy unconventional protagonists and stories where the lines between hero and villain are blurred.

Praise for the series:

"A must read for adults who want a bit of dark fantasy with actual laugh out loud moments."

"Splendid dialogue, lots of wry humour, and characters you've met nowhere else. The nearest thing I can compare this series to is Mark Lawrence's Broken Empire Trilogy. I absolutely revelled in the author's joyous and flamboyant use of the English language. Very highly recommended..."

"Breed is the anti-hero you really shouldn't like. But you do, like it's your sordid little secret. it's the writing style of KT Davies that brings you in close and opens your heart to Breed"

"I have read some great authors. Joe Abercrombie, Richard Morgan, and Ian M Banks among them. KT Davies has a way to take expected cliched stories and turning them upside down in fun an unexpected ways"

"I love this book. Well written grimdark with a wicked sense of humour. The lead Breed is singularly dishonest and unpleasant yet oddly likeable."
