Necromancer's Betrayal

An innocent child is spirited away during an attack on a palace.



A remote temple is desecrated, its priests slaughtered and its relics plundered.



An ancient enemy stirs.



One by one, the gods begin to fall...





As chaos descends upon the kingdom of Dur Memnos, its leader, Saltar, has no choice but to pursue his son's kidnappers. Meanwhile, his wife Kate and her followers fight to preserve the realm, but are apparently powerless against the dark magic at work. Saltar is drawn inexorably towards a wintry fastness in the north, where a terrible secret awaits. Can one lost soul tip the balance when the gods use the earth for a battlefield?



Necromancer's Betrayal is A J Dalton's second work of metaphysical fantasy. It gives us a world of epic scale as a backdrop to the intrigues and magic of the darker side of the human psyche. It is told with a vividness normally only expected of film. The action and pace leave the reader breathless, exhilarated and hungry for more.





"I don't know how A J Dalton's done it! He's not only surpassed his first book, but the very genre itself." Paul Rhinebeck



"The power of A J Dalton's writing left me shaken and inspired. I don't think I'll see the world in the same way again." Kate Sultrow
