Mortal Critters Kevin J Donoghue

A dark epic fantasy set in a broken world of plots, high treason, intrigue, murder, war, and witchcraft.

The Hundreds Year War rages across the great empire as Templar's, Witches, Inquisitors, Wizards, Kings, and Murderers

clash and plot intrigues.




A young Sir Thomas Devereux spies for the empire under the guise of being one of the great literary minds of the age but he is having trouble finishing his latest novel. His mother bullies him, his father has disinherited him, and his lover is a known witch and freethinking woman.




The cultural laws are introduced, the inquisition is in full swing, and the sadistic Witch-Finder General prosecutes all who fall beneath his grasp.




And so, begins the hunt for a lost treasure, the fight for liberty, and the struggle for equality.




Mortal Critters is the first in the series of books that tell the story of Alchemy and the sagas of the mythical 5th Worlde. These sagas are not a series of historical novels and whilst many of the characters have indeed appeared in the history of your world; in this world their histories are completely different, and a substantial amount of imagination has been used to ensure this fact.
