The Vagrant is his name. He has no other.
Years have passed since humanity's destruction emerged from the Breach.
Friendless and alone he walks across a desolate, war-torn landscape.
As each day passes the world tumbles further into depravity, bent and twisted by the new order, corrupted by the Usurper, the enemy, and his infernal horde.
His purpose is to reach the Shining City, last bastion of the human race, and deliver the only weapon that may make a difference in the ongoing war.
What little hope remains is dying. Abandoned by its leader, The Seven, and its heroes, The Seraph Knights, the last defences of a once great civilisation are crumbling into dust.
But the Shining City is far away and the world is a very dangerous place.
Marijke is the Customer Service Supervisor at Boffins and has been a Boffin for over five years, and a bird fanatic for even longer. She reads anything interesting.
A wordless protagonist sets out on a quest to deliver a weapon to the Shining City. While the basic plotline of a hero’s quest sounds familiar, Peter Newman’s writing is what causes this book to stand out, and will be enjoyed by fans of China Mieville’s unique creations or David Gemmell’s The Jerusalem Mans books.
