Book Giveaway: Talus and the Frozen King by Graham Edwards
How about another giveaway? This time we have a brand new book coming out from Solaris on March 26th: Talus and the Frozen King by Graham Edwards.
Meet Talus – the Bronze Age Detective! Even at the dawn of society, murder is an ancient habit. But Talus is the first man who understands that the identity of an unknown killer can be found, if you can start asking the right questions.
Neither historical fantasy nor crime fiction has ever seen anything like Talus before. Edwards brings a unique character to the world of crime fiction while blending myth, legend, and fantasy into a rich tapestry about a bright light amidst humanity’s darkest dawn.

Talus and the Frozen King
by Graham Edwards
Meet Talus – the world’s first detective.
A dead warrior king frozen in winter ice. Six grieving sons, each with his own reason to kill. Two weary travelers caught up in a web of suspicion and deceit.
In a distant time long before our own, wandering bard Talus and his companion Bran journey to the island realm of Creyak, where the king has been murdered. From clues scattered among the island’s mysterious barrows and stone circles, they begin their search for his killer. But do the answers lie in this world or the next?
Nobody is above suspicion, from the king’s heir to the tribal shaman, from the servant woman steeped in herb-lore to the visiting warlord whose unexpected arrival throws the whole tribe into confusion. And when death strikes again, Talus and Bran realise nothing is what it seems.
Creyak is place of secrets and spirits, mystery and myth. It will take a clever man indeed to unravel the truth. The kind of man this ancient world has not seen before.
What people are saying:
“A close cousin to the writings of Conan Doyle, Christie, and Marsh… Mystery fans will look forward to Talus’s future investigations.” — Publisher’s Weekly
“I think both mystery and fantasy readers alike will feel right at home with this one. A very entertaining and fast read.” — The Bibliosanctum
“It all makes for a pretty fast, intense mystery as shadows thicken, nothing is as it seems and men start to die all around.” — Drunken Dragon Reviews
Our thanks to Solaris and Graham Edwards for the excellent prizes and best of luck to everyone. Help us spread the word and be sure to come back next Wednesday to see if you’ve won!
