Description
THE THRILLING CONCLUSION TO THE MULTI-AWARD WINNING MORDECAI CROW TRILOGY
We are taken back in time to see Crow’s ravaged world through the eyes of his mother, Raven. Snatching up the threads from the first two books, Raven’s story weaves a tale of blood and fire that leads to an action-packed climax played out on the embattled ramparts of Ironcast, throne of the merciless ruler of the Luddites, Lord Pyke.
Why has the crazed bandit chieftain Zeya delivered Crow into the hands of the Luddites? Will stalwart Podd, with the help of the Baker’s Dozen crew of misfits, succeed in finding his friend once again? And most importantly, will our hero Mordecai Crow finally unravel the secrets of his lost past?
Against the rumblings of war and intrigue, all will be made clear In Blood and Fire, the thrilling conclusion to the Mordecai Crow Trilogy.

'The post-apocalyptic adventure I didn’t know I needed. High-speed storytelling in a well-crafted book.’ – Mike Donachie, Toronto Star

A hugely impressive work of art from a virtuoso graphic novelist.’– Stephen Biesty, author of the Incredible Cross-Sections series
