Produktbeschreibung

Inhale the memory. Exhale the truth. Arx: City of Broken Minds is a standalone epic of grimdark fantasy.

In Arx, no-one remembers anything. Not the Flame Protests. Not the Sightless executioner. Not even themselves.

Caelan's memories have been stolen. All he has left is instinct and fear. Fear of the Fog-Eyes, mindless and drooling. The emptiness that lies in his future unless he can quiet the nameless voice screaming in his head. And he will burn Arx to ashes to avoid it.

Samantha, an asexual blacksmith and perpetual paternal disappointment, knows exactly what she'll be remembered for: Callisteel. A mythic metal that can pierce reality, it waits for her beneath the smog that scars the sky black. No matter the cost.

Ruairi, a famer boy with a twisted spine, heads to Arx desperate to avoid being pitied. On the way, he rescues a man with violet eyes. His reward is a nightmare of blue fire and blood that pushes him to the edge of what his broken body can take and beyond.

Mindbreakers walk once more in Arx, drawn to the spire of unbroken metal that hangs like a blade against the rotten heart of the city. Now their master has returned, it is only a matter of time before it awakens and slices the connection between reality and memory for good...

Autorenporträt

Edmund Hurst was born in the misty lands known only as The Midlands. A nerd-of-all-trades, he spent much of his childhood between pages of books, playing video games and of course, writing stories. School was strict, stifling, and saved only through the efforts of Brian Jacques, Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell, and Terry Pratchett. Fortunately, at University he found a lifelong love of education. He worked his way across the UK as a waiter, a bartender and an actor until finally he found the promised lands of Up North. Ed obtained his Creative Writing PhD at the University of Hull, where he is now Programme Director for Creative Writing. He lectures in Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Horror prose, as well as researching the impact of AI on Higher Education and working to make creative education accessible to students from all backgrounds through the growth of creative communities.
