The Chronicles of Breed

Did you hear the one about the thief and the sorcerer who went to rob a senator? No, of course you didn’t, it’s a dull tale hardly worth recounting. Ah. But what happened after, now that is a story. After being most unfairly swived and abandoned in the wilds, Breed Blake stumbles upon a barbarian who is also having a very bad day. It turns out when the great oaf isn’t being attacked by bandits, he’s on a mission to save a damsel in distress who is being held somewhere in the doom haunted Scathblight Mountains.

Deadpool meets Game of Thrones in this thrilling tale of demons, dragons and treachery. After Breed, a thief-assassin of small renown, is chased by a dragon, tricked by a demon, almost killed by a psychopathic gang boss and hunted by a ferocious spider, life really takes a turn for the worse. Sentenced to five years bonded servitude to a one-handed priest magician, Breed must find the hammer of the ancient hero known only as The Hammer of the North within a year and a day...or else.

The world needs a hero, but all it got is Breed. Leaving the Empire to face the wrath of an angry demon and its infernal hordes, Breed takes a ship and flees to Shen. With pockets full of gold, the Hammer of the North, a crate of whiskey and a conscience unburdened by guilt, life doesn't get any better, does it? Well, yes, it does - but it gets a lot worse first. No matter how fast Breed runs, trouble is never far behind. Charged by an ancient power to find a way to stop Shallunsard the demon, Breed is thrust from one world into another.

We all know how it goes. You’re getting old, slow.... All of your friends are dead.... You have to fight for your life in an arena, save the Goblin Queen and defeat an evil sorcerer before she destroys a world of Wild magic. And that’s before you even think about facing Shallunsard the demon, the Eldest of the Annurashi, and Halda the Red Witch who’s had a bone to pick with you for 700 years. Live or die, this is Breed’s last ride. So, are you ready? Good.

They say that no good deed goes unpunished. It turns out, they were right. Breed saved a world, killed a demon, destroyed the gods that made it and then went home. It was time to rest, perchance to die. But as any fool knows, there is no rest for the wicked. No one is going anywhere until an old friend is dead, an old enemy is saved and hot or cold vengeance is served. The battle is over, now the war has begun.

After half-killing Mother Blake's murderer, Breed is obliged to repay a debt to a powerful Prince of the Midnight Court. Armed with little more than a bad attitude, and partnered with a feckless sorcerer and an arrogant gang enforcer, Breed sets sail for the land of Voskva. They say no good deed goes unpunished. And damn them, they were right.

Shey Jing is an honourable warrior, Sebastian Schiller a louche, schism touched bounty hunter known as 'the Mosquito'. They are given a simple choice when they cross paths with the Roach King; work together or die together. But simple isn't easy when two people hate each other.
