Sea of Ghosts (The Gravedigger Chonicles, 1) - Softcover

Leaving the behind the imaginings of Deepgate, Alan Campbell introduces a new world, a new cast of characters in a novel that reads like a cross between Stephen Deas and Joe Abercrombie. With non-stop action, beautiful characterization and Alan's usual flair for imagination and lyrical writing, welcome to a world of water - where dragons are used as weapons and countries are separated by power, greed and fear... Thrown out of the Graveyard corps by a corrupt and weak emperor, Granger has to turn to running his own prison. It's not a lucrative business but if he keeps his head down, doesn't succumb to pity or morals then he may just survive. But when two unexpected prisoners enter his life then his world is turned upside down. Ianthe is young, blind and deaf - she can only see or hear through other people's senses. This makes her unique in a world held to ransom by the powerful Haurstaf - a sisterhood of telepaths who consider the young girl a threat to their power. She's also Granger's daughter...
