Pre-Order now! Malarkoi by Alex Pheby
Alex Pheby’s Mordew was a raucous, explosive, and boundlessly imaginative fantasy skewed through the vision and consciousness of a Dickensian epic. Now comes the sequel to 2020’s most exciting fantasy debut. In it, we are reintroduced to the Cities of the West, Mordew, and the eponymous Malarkoi, and its mysterious, all powerful mistress.
Written with the same literary aplomb, and featuring even more twists and turns than its predecessor, Malarkoi is proof that Alex Pheby has created one of the most fascinating and action packed fantasy series’ in years. A must read for fans of Ursula LeGuin, Charles Dickens, and George R.R. Martin.

Malarkoi by Alex Pheby
Hardback £17.99Releases September 8th
Nathan Treeves is dead, murdered by the Master of Mordew, his remains used to create the powerful occult weapon known as the Tinderbox. His companions are scattered, making for Malarkoi, the city of the Mistress, the Master's enemy. They are hoping to find welcome there, or at least safety. They find neither - and instead become embroiled in a life and death struggle against assassins, demi-gods, and the cunning plans of the Mistress. Only Sirius, Nathan's faithful magical dog, has not forgotten the boy, and, bent on revenge, he returns to the shattered remains of Mordew, newly deformed into an impossible mountain, swarming with monsters. He senses something in the Manse at its pinnacle - the Master is there, grieving the loss of his manservant, Bellows - and in the ruins of the slums he finds a power capable of destroying his foe, if only he has the strength to use it. So the stage is set for battle, sacrifice, magic and treachery in the stunning sequel to Mordew. ...Welcome to Malarkoi.

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
