Monument

by IanGraham (Author)

Synopsis

Ballas is a drunk and a vagrant. In his eyes there is only greed, and in his heart only bitterness. Such a man is not suited to legend. He is fit only for an unmarked grave. And there are people who seek to hasten his journey there. When a young priest saves him from a beating in the street, Ballas does not know how to react to such an act of kindness. But he soon finds a way to pay him back. He steals from him. What Ballas chooses to take can easily be hidden under a cloak, but it is no trinket to be sold in the market for a bowl of soup. It is known as the monument. And the power it contains will bring a god of chaos and destruction into the world. Now Ballas has that power. MONUMENT is a masterpiece of storytelling - a new classic of fantasy fiction. Find out more about this and other titles at www.orbitbooks.co.uk

Media Reviews
'Ian Graham is a magnificent storyteller. MONUMENT is the most exciting debut Fantasy novel you will read this year' DAVID GEMMELL 'With a plot that gives tantalising hints to a larger story on the horizon, a truly original central character and a willingness to go places that other writers shy away from, Ian Graham's MONUMENT is a breakthrough first novel of remarkable strengths ... it is that rarest of things, a fantasy novel that dares to be different, excels at fast- paced narrative and engages the reader along a range of emotions, from sympathy to outrage and everything in between.'-- Waterstone's ENIGMA MAGAZINE
