I'm delighted to share the cover for the eBook release of my dark fantasy novella, ENTER THE NIDINGS – the first in a planned series of medieval-era adventures. Really proud of how this one's come out, a mash-up somewhere between pulpy old-school monster horror and an edgier modern grimdark fantasy style.

What's it about?

Man-eating giants. A kidnapped princess. Can 6 unlikely heroes succeed where armies have failed?

Trouble stirs in the Clear Valley frontier that separates the realm from monsters of legend. The Thundress Tribe, enormous giantesses banished to the mountainous Nidings, are raiding villages and devouring people. Worse, they have captured Princess Vivaria. Their demands: give up the Clear Valley or die.

The last great wars against the giants cost countless lives. Now, the king refuses to risk direct battle.

Scholar Arabel Sloane, the leading expert on the thundresses, is tasked with saving the princess – quietly. She doesn’t know how to fight, and has never seen a giant in the flesh. Her only hope is an elite group of adventurers: a monster hunters, two warriors, a thief, and a palm witch. Yet her companions are as untrustworthy as they are deadly.

Together, they must journey into the forbidden Nidings and face creatures determined to eat them alive. And that’s if the witch doesn't eat them first...

The story was first serialised on Patreon but is now available as a complete eBook – you can pick it up on Gumroad: rbashton.gumroad.com/l/enterth…

Or eventually from all major retailers here: books2read.com/u/31RJyl (including Amazon)

There will be a paperback version coming from Amazon soon.
