No Man's Land comes out of the forest swinging fists and iron fury
in this triumphant face-stomping, heart-clutching, milk-curdling
hardboiled adventure of man vs Elfland, with war veterans,
changelings, maidens in distress, murderous elves and some very
horny trees all along for the rush-along ride. You'll never look at
an elf the same way again.
*Lavie Tidhar, author of BY FORCE ALONE*
'Morgan has created a disturbing world of deep forests, arcane
spells, and haunted and haunting characters. It's rich and vividly
imagined, so much so that you can smell the dank undergrowth, taste
the spilled blood . . . and feel the dread in every scene. One of
my favourite books of the year, destined to be a classic'
*Tim Lebbon*
No Man's Land delivers on every front. It's a refreshingly original

is both a wonderful and a monstrous creation
*James Oswald, Sunday Times bestselling author*
