About this listen

War dragons.

Fearsome raiders.

A daemonic warlord on the rise.

When the citizens of Black Keep see ships on the horizon, terror takes them because they know who is coming: for generations, the keep has been raided by the fearsome clanspeople of Tjakorsha. Saddling their war dragons, Black Keep's warriors rush to defend their home only to discover that the clanspeople have not come to pillage at all. Driven from their own land by a daemonic despot who prophesises the end of the world, the raiders come in search of a new home....

Meanwhile the wider continent of Narida is lurching toward war. Black Keep is about to be caught in the crossfire - if only its new mismatched society can survive.

The start of an unmissable fantasy series.

The Black Coast is the first fantasy novel from critically acclaimed Games Workshop/Warhammer 40k author Mike Brooks. Look out for the sequel: The Splinter King.

Good story and interesting concept but feels like a lecture full of SJW propaganda. Will definitely appeal to the blue-haired tumbler screechers and cancel culture simps.

Having said that, 5 stars because this is still someone's loving work and it doesn't deserve to be buried, the story, world and concept is still fun and engaging.

Good story, bad lecture.
