Absolon Creed brings a murder investigation to grimdark fantasy

R. S. Ford’s new Orbit novel arrived September 8.

R. S. Ford’s Absolon Creed arrived from Orbit on September 8. The US trade paperback runs to 352 pages, with ebook and unabridged audio options also listed by the publisher. Edition and story details The premise pairs a feared veteran with an inexperienced recruit inside a city already close to collapse. Two murdered

nobles raise the possibility of a traitor in the Order of Draken, pushing Creed and Guenivar Blackmere into an investigation among powerful families, warlocks and necromancers. Readers interested in fantasy mysteries can expect the investigation to operate within a grimdark setting: the force protecting Bastion is

itself brutal, and the partnership places an untested newcomer beside one of its most dangerous figures. Check the publisher’s release and format details. Image: Orbit / Hachette; illustration by Matt Griffin, design by Stephanie A. Hess.
