#Titanuary #BookFocus-‘Relics Trilogy’ by Tim Lebbon

About the books-

Huge thanks to Titan Books who sent me gifted paperbacks of Books 2 and 3 in the ‘Relics’ series by Tim Lebbon. All 3 novels are out now in ebook and paperbook formats wherever good books are sold!

And currently, Book 1, ‘‘Relics’, is available for free on Amazon Kindle Unlimited!

And if you don’t have/don’t want to get K.U, it’s available at a ridiculously low £2.74!

I’m currently half way through it and very excited to see how this story will arcover the remaining two novels.

Book 1-Relics

There’s an underground black market for arcane things. Akin to the trade in rhino horns or tigers’ bones, this network traffics in remains of gryphons, faeries, goblins, and other fantastic creatures.When her fiance Vince goes missing Angela Gough, an American criminology student, discovers that he was a part of this secretive trade. It’s a big-money business-shadowy, brutal, and sometimes fatal.

As the trail leads her deeper into London’s dark side, she crosses paths with a crime lord whose life is dedicated to collecting such relics.Then Angela discovers that some of these objects aren’t as ancient as they seem. Some of them are fresh.

Book 2-The Folded Land

In the dark underbelly of our world, there’s a black market in arcane things—living and dead. Angela Gough has been pulled into this world, making her a criminal on the run.

In London she encountered the Kin—satyrs and centaurs, Nephilim and wraiths, they are hunted and slaughtered for their body parts. Fleeing back to the United States, Angela discovers that the Kin are everywhere, and they are tired of being prey.

When her niece Sammi is struck by lightning, she is drawn toward the mysterious Folded Land, and its powerful and deadly ruler. Helped by her lover Vince, caught in the midst of a Kin uprising, Angela must locate Sammi before the girl is lost forever.

Book 3- The Edge

A diseased town-long hidden beneath a lake-rises from the depths to become a focus of the war between humankind and the Kin. Beneath the surface of our world, mythological creatures and their artifacts still exist. As with a rhino horn, a tiger’s bones, or a monkey’s paw, corrupt people pay fortunes for a sliver of a satyr’s hoof, a gryphon’s claw, a basilisk’s scale, or an angel’s wing. These criminals also sell living supernatural creatures, whole or a piece at a time, to be harvested for their supernatural essence. Having become embroiled in the secret world of the Relics, creatures known as the Kin, Angela Gough is on the run in the United States. Forty years ago the town of Longford was the site of a deadly disease outbreak that wiped out the entire population.

The infection was contained, the town isolated, and the valley in which it sits flooded and turned into a reservoir. The truth-that the outbreak was intentional, and not every resident of Longford died-disappeared beneath the waves. Now the town is revealed again. The Kin have an interest in the ruins, as do the fairy Grace and the Nephilim leader Mallian. The infection has risen from beneath silent waters, and this forgotten town becomes the focus of the looming battle between humankind and the Kin.

Don’t they sound gripping?

Keep an eye out for individual book reviews, however, I am sure this is enough information to ahve you reaching for the ‘buy now’ button on ‘Relics’ which I thoroughly recommend!

About the author-

I love writing, reading, triathlon, real ale, chocolate, good movies, occasional bad movies, and cake.

I was born in London in 1969, lived in Devon until I was eight, and the next twenty years were spent in Newport. My wife Tracey and I then did a Good Thing and moved back to the country, and we now live in the little village of Goytre in Monmouthshire with our kids Ellie and Daniel. And our dog, Blu, who is the size of a donkey.

I love the countryside … I do a lot of running and cycling, and live in the best part of the world for that.

I’ve had loads of books published in the UK, USA, and around the world, including novels, novellas, and collections. I write horror, fantasy, and now thrillers, and I’ve been writing as a living for over 8 years. I’ve won quite a few awards for my original fiction, and I’ve also written tie-in projects for Star Wars, Alien, ‘Hellboy’, ‘The Cabin In The Woods’, and ’30 Days Of Night’.

A movie’s just been made of my short story ‘Pay The Ghost’, starring Nicolas Cage and Sarah Wayne Callies. There are other projects in development, too.

I’d love to hear from you!
