'You thought you were watching my death,' hissed the dragon. 'But you were watching your own.' And then he lunged. Forced into the clutches of a bloodthirsty dragon, Sigurd is fighting not only for his life, but for the survival of an apocalyptic Britain. For Sigurd is the chosen one, the golden warrior boy blessed with the courage of a hero and the strength of a lion. In a world where power and corruption are all consuming, can he fulfil his destiny and overcome the tyranny that threatens to destroy him?

Media Reviews
A dystopian vision that will rank with the twentieth-century classics! -- The Sunday Telegraph
Straddling a dystopian future and a myth-ridden past, Bloodtide is a savage story of betrayal, passion, hatred, and the corrupting nature of power. Bloodtide shies from nothing, making it both cruel and magnificent. -- The Guardian
A magnificent drama. -- The Sunday Observer
Powerfully conceived, Bloodtide is a novel of bristling intrigue. In sharp, confident prose Burgess imagines a startling world of humans and shapeshifters, predators and prisoners, villains and heroes. It's a fierce adventure that forces your attention and refuses to let go. --Adele Griffin, author of Sons of Liberty, a National Book Award finalist
