Description
Bloomsbury presents The Deep and the Drowned by Ian Green, read by Greg Stylianou-Burns.
The first in a new fantasy trilogy from the author of the Rotstorm series and Extremophile, this novel is a high-octane tale set on the turbulent seas of Morost.
Beneath a sky ruled by gods and monsters, a drowned land spreads - thousands of scattered isles, each its own dominion, each a deadly trap for the unwary.
But for those bold enough to ply these turbulent waters, there is trade to be done and money to be made.
For a decade, Killian has sailed between the Strait Kingdoms and the Crown Isles - enough time to run up debts, break promises, and make enemies in every port. Now, foes and bad luck are quickly outnumbering his fortune and friends.
With the seas blazing with war, gods and mages clash to keep their heads above the rising tide. Killian must sail into the storm - and repay the biggest debt he owes, no matter the cost.
Book 1 of the Cutlass and Crow trilogy

Atmospheric, vivid, and told like an epic song. Fantasy as it should be - human, bloody, big-hearted, and full of wonder.

The Deep And The Drowned is a captivating display of Green's narrative power, he has constructed a hypnotic epic full of twisty cruelty and tangled loyalties, and threaded through it all a potent undercurrent of resistance and the brutality of power.
