The Lord of Misrule: A Dark Folkloric Fantasy (Castle Blackwood Book 1) Kindle Edition

The Duke of Blackwood never wanted power, and he never wanted the voices whispering in his head. But when a rogue wizard begins stalking the rain-soaked town of Upton Myzzle, reluctance becomes a luxury he can no longer afford.The ancient forest surrounding the town has turned hostile, a strange new star burns above the rooftops, and the people of Blackwood are beginning to remember gods that were best left forgotten.As tensions rise, the Duke finds himself caught between a father stubbornly clinging to authority, a daughter who has inherited her late mother’s talent for finding trouble, and a town edging toward religious unrest and open rebellion.In Blackwood, power is never freely given, and the past has a habit of demanding repayment.The Lord of Misrule is a dark folkloric fantasy rooted in British myth, where ancient woods, forgotten gods, and old bargains press relentlessly on the present. Blending mythic unease with a dry, understated sense of humour, it is a story about power, inheritance, and what happens when people try to ignore the rules that have always governed their world.
