Prepare to be utterly immersed in an impossibly rich flintlock world.

I shall not lie to you. It is a difficult thing you will do. Sometimes, it may be painful. You will be tested in ways you might struggle to conceive of. But give yourself to me properly, expend all that you have and I promise I shall carry you. I shall in turn offer you every pound and ounce of my own capacities. You will not be alone...

Ancient leviathans have stirred from their long slumber. Their scent song marks where they might be found, but only to those with the means to somewhat hear it: Sentinel Archivists.

Shay Bluefaltlow finds herself training to become such a specialist when she is forced into indentured servitude. Her new home, the city of Fivedock, is strange and bewildering, as are her new companions: a belligerent surgeon, a remarkable little boy, and a formidable Sentinel Archivist tasked with teaching Shay the terrifying ways of the trade.

Her unanticipated position requires forbidden knowledge, a sickening transformation and the strongest constitution. Shay is certain she is unequal to the prodigious task, but desperate to impress her superiors.

When war subsumes the Concord, the office of the Sentinel Archivist is threatened by a terrible betrayal. And Shay has secrets of her own...

Incredibly vivid, magical, with rich regency enchantment, and a bewitching touch of strangeness, Seeker is a deeply immersive novel.

Naomi Novik meets Brandon Sanderson and Bernard Cornwell in this sumptuous tale by the dazzling new voice in Fantasy, Samuel Griffin.

Griffin does for regency era fantasy what Robin Hobb did for medieval: this isn't just a fiction, this is a living and breathing world you dunk yourself in. An intimate journey with real characters. With incredible, enchanting wordcraft, and a beating heart of a story that will leave you breathless.
