Masterful storytelling, a must read. * Gavin Smith, author of The Bastard Legion *Imaginative, creepy, tragic, violent and poignant – The Song of the Sycamore is a fantastic book * Anna Stephens *Fresh and inventive, with a beautifully crafted world - Cox has outdone himself * Peter McLean *Song of the Sycamore is all I would expect from Ed Cox and more: fast-paced, well-observed, compassionate and thoughtful.

About The Author
Edward Cox
Edward Cox began writing stories at school as a way to pass time in boring lessons. It was a hobby he dabbled with until the late 80’s when he discovered the works of David Gemmell, which not only cemented his love of fantasy but also encouraged a hobby to become something much more serious.
With his first short story published in 2000, Edward spent much of the next decade earning a BA 1st class with honours in creative writing, and a Master degree in the same subject. He then went on to teach creative writing at the University of Bedfordshire. During the 2000’s he published a host of short stories with the smaller presses of America, where he also worked as a reviewer. Currently living in Essex with his wife and daughter, Edward is mostly surrounded by fine greenery and spiders the size of his hand. His first full novel was The Relic Guild, which was the result of more than ten years of obsessive writing.Returns
