Promotional image for the historical fantasy book The Seer by JD Stanley - a stone castle throne room with round columns on either side, in the centre a heavy throne with royal blue upholstery sits up a couple of steps of a stone dais, a sword leans up against one arm of the throne, mist creeps in from both sides, on the right side, the book cover on a paperback and a tablet

The wrong man sits on the throne.

And fifteen years later… he's still there.

Blood Runner promotional image, book cover on the left over a background of dark brown wood, on the right in white lettering a direct quote from the story: "As much as I can appreciate the beauty of it, as much as I envy its indiscriminate indifference in applying itself to snuffing out one life over another, to be honest, fire scares the holy shite out of me. It's hypnotic and deceiving and in the end brutal and perhaps a bit too much like myself to look at in the face with any comfort. I knew it wouldn't hesitate to get its caustic arms around me, either, because what am I, after all, but the illusion of fuel? Except in my case, some burnt flesh wouldn't kill me and I'm not much into horrible, unspeakable agony for all eternity. Okay, maybe not for ALL eternity. But it wouldn't be very fucking pleasant for a while."

He’s ancient. Cursed. And long past caring.

But she isn’t.

And that might be his undoing.

Book marketing image. On the left, a dark spooky scene with a brown wash over the colours of barren trees and the moon shining through a misty sky. The Blood Runner book cover appears on a paperback book, a tablet, and a smartphone over top of it. On the right, a quote from the book: "I continued to let her have the soft voice in the dark. It was the only soft thing about me and all I could offer. 'You're not afraid of me.' 'No, Richard.' Her hand moved to splay her fingers over my lips, to feel the voice she couldn't see. 'Like a wolf with a sheep, girl. You should be.'"

Prey upon the gauzy brains of the Oakwood gods and leave me in peace."

Even his Druid powers can't stop despot king Barry the Red.

Or can they?

If Bronan can regain his honour, there's a secret, born of magic, that could save them all.
