Join us for an evening of fantasy action with Justin Lee Anderson to talk about the third book in The Eidyn Saga, The Damned King. Inspired by the history of his home town of Edinburgh, and stacked with memorable characters and thrilling twists and turns, this is a firm bookseller favourite and an evening you won't want to miss!
The revolution continues in the thrilling third novel of Justin Lee Anderson's epic Eidyn Saga, perfect for fans of Anthony Ryan and David Gemmell.
The eternal light keeping demons at bay has been extinguished and Eidyn's last bastion is under brutal siege. Aranok and his allies draw the final battle lines as the war for the kingdom nears its end. With death threatening from every shadow and truth itself at stake, Eidyn's defenders must put aside their grudges and come together. But is it possible to save everyone when some prefer the lie?
Justin was a professional writer and editor for 15 years before his debut novel, Carpet Diem, was published, going on to win the 2018 Audie award for Humour. His second novel, The Lost War, won the 2020 SPFBO award, leading to a four-book deal with Orbit for The Eidyn Saga.
Born in Edinburgh, Justin grew up bouncing around the US for 11 years, following his dad's football career, before moving back to Edinburgh in his teens. He now lives with his family in East Lothian, via spells in Dundee and the South of France.
