VIEW TRAILER

Neither sequel nor prequel, more of a skewquel, this story takes place in the same world as The Torril City Mysterion, but in a different time and place, featuring a new host of characters. If you’ve read Torril City you’ll find tantalising tidbits strewn through the tale but, if not, this story can be experienced on its own as an introduction to this vast and mysterious world.

Apple's 'Think Different' campaign rounded-up some famous faces like Pablo Picasso, Amelia Earhart, and Jim Henson.
Reiuk hates people and loves plants, but when he’s sent to the strange, tropical island of Taen Lua, he’ll have to overcome his inner-furor if he’s going to survive the jungle, the people, and the ancient mysteries he’s suddenly confronted with…

Today is a special day, and one which I’ve looked forward to for a few years now. It’s a day on which I can now share the world I’ve been living in since 2018. If you pick up a copy, I really hope you enjoy it. As always, the aim is to delight and thrill my readers with excellent fantasy and adventure, and I hope this story lives up to that goal.

PRAISE FOR THIS EMERALD CRUCIBLE:

“IT’S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO READ […] and see another aspect of Aliru. "This Emerald Crucible" is an epic, secondary world fantasy […] disguised as a cosy murder mystery.”

  • L.A. Reader

"THE PROTAGONISTS ARE DELIGHTFULLY DYSFUNCTIONAL, but here is a story of transformation and hope."

  • Moritz Kobler

"A ROLLICKING GOOD RIDE. This tale sings with drama, mystery and magick. I'll never forget it!”

  • Harakar, Chronicler & Adventurer

"McLEOD'S LOVE OF HISTORY is evident throughout the beautiful world he has crafted."

  • Tu'Sum, Royal Historian

THIS EMERALD CRUCIBLE is a PART ONE of OF SAND AND SOIL, a story set in the world of Aliru.

Cheers!
