MEET YOUR NEXT EPIC FANTASY OBSESSION . . .

No one remembers the calamity that killed the gods and stole the names of their people. Now Shipwright and Shroudweaver are known only by their professions.

She's a master of magical shipbuilding. He's a maker of the gilded gods that fuel their sails, stitched from the souls of dead sailors.

When a chance to save their world calls the veterans back to shore, they decide they'll stop at nothing to vanquish the ultimate evil, embarking on a deadly race against time to beat the grief-wracked sorceress known as Crowkisser to the notorious mountain kingdom in the legend-infested north before she unleashes the ancient power entombed at its heart - the one waiting to finish what it started.

The first book in a brand-new debut duology, The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver introduces a trail-blazing voice in Scottish fantasy, fusing the Celtic folklore of J.R.R. Tolkien with the climate geopolitics of N.K. Jemisin in an epic adventure of ancient gods, apocalyptic magic, and love that can survive the end of the world - unmissable for fans of The Will of the Many by James Islington, The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, and Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.

Rafael Torrubia grew up between Spain and Scotland. They have won several writing awards, including National Gallery of Scotland Writer of the Year, the Deirdre Roberts Prize and multiple shortlistings for the Bridport Prize. Previously, they taught protest history at the University of St Andrews and in Harlem, NYC. Like all recovering historians, they have worked in wine, whisky and the National Museum of Scotland. Rafael is currently Lead Reader with the Open Book charity, delivering writing workshops across Scotland. When not writing, they can be found enjoying a whisky, a muddy allotment or a dark river somewhere in Perthshire.
