Cat-servant and owner of more musical instruments than he can actually play (and considerably more than he can play well), Matthew Ward is an author, creative consultant and VO director.

He lives near Nottingham with his extremely patient wife – as well as a pride of attention-seeking cats – and writes to entertain anyone who feels there’s not enough magic in the world.

Queen
of Eventide

For Maddie Lincoln, returning to her childhood home was an opportunity to retake control.

Instead, she becomes trapped in an ancient struggle between mythic forces. A struggle in which her life – or death – might be the deciding factor.

The Darkness
Before Them

Kat's not a hero. She just wants to be free. To have her old life back.

But as rebellion rekindles and the war for Khalad's future begins, everyone - Kat included - will have to pick a side.

Edges of
the World

When the mists rise, distant realms brush against the boundaries of our world.

Nightmarish shapes scurry into the shadows, waiting for the sun to set and darkness to reign once more.

Yet as Tressia falls, heroes rise.

Legacy of Steel

War is coming . . . and this time the gods themselves will take sides.

Legacy of Light
