    The Oconic Gates Series

    About this series

    He avoided going to prison. Now he's breaking into one...

    Varo Pinetta has had his scrapes with the law, but now he's a caster - a legionnaire trained to wield magical 'oca' in service of the Empire. He thought he'd put his criminal past behind him. But then his Sergeant ordered him to bust into a prison to rescue an old friend.

    Not just any prison. A 600 foot-tall tower of rock called a Pillar, its location unknown, a portal gateway the only way in or out.

    Led by a beautiful thief, Pinetta and his fellow prison-breakers hatch a daring plan that involves an explosive heist and a clever fraud. The trouble is, the prison governor knows they're coming…

    Can they rescue the oconic prisoner? Or will they die trying?

    The Oconic Prison is a page-turning fantasy thriller that's part Ripper Street, part Stargate, with a touch of The Italian Job. It's set in the same world as the fantasy fiction books in The Oconic Gates series, which begins with the military action adventure novel Once Called Magic.

      One man will betray an Empire. But who? Will it be celebrated Caster-Colonel Lokke de Calvas, commander of a legion known as the Old Hundredth? When a grisly murder thrusts him into a battle he’s unprepared and ill-equipped for, Lokke struggles to reconcile his honour with the demands of duty. Will it be Ember Cobb, ex-caster and grouchy merc? Hiding from his past in the northern wilds, he joins up with a band of Empire-hating separatists, uncovering a world he never knew existed and magical enemies he never imagined in his darkest nightmares.   Or will it be Tydek Mordume, the scheming cop who will do anything to get what he wants? And what he wants is to become the most powerful man in the Empire. What he wants is to start a war. Three men. Seven days. The fate of an Empire hangs in the balance. Once Called Magic is a fast-paced, inventive fantasy thriller that's part Ripper Street, part Stargate, with a touch of Raymond Feist and Mark Lawrence. It's the start of the Oconic Gates series of fantasy fiction books, which also includes the forthcoming novellas entitled The Oconic Prisoner and The Hero of Zegoma Beach. What people are saying about Once Called Magic: "The pace was generally ace, like a thriller. I genuinely looked forward to getting on the train home to read the next bit... Has an 'ahhhh, wow' moment that I didn't see coming and is something I rarely find in fantasy books. Made me smile at length, thank you!" - S. Farrow
