WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Bond offers something fresh, combining Welsh mythology with the nation’s mining history to create a rousing epic about political struggle, injustice, and rebellion, with a distinctly Welsh bedrock."

- Wales Arts Review

The Vagabond King: Out now

Part One in The Vagabond King Trilogy


In a land where immortality can be bought, cruelty thrives...

Exiled and alone, Threon is torn from a life in the palace to scrape a living on the streets of a foreign land. Once a prince whose every whim was obliged, now this vagabond must adapt to survive. 

​

Throwing his lot in with a witch, a rebel soldier and a woman touched by a god, he seeks retribution for the wrongs committed against his family. Slavery and famine are rampant, and the struggle to avenge his kin soon becomes a battle to restore justice across the Empire. Together Threon and his new companions must rekindle old allegiances, face an immortal army and learn to trust one another.

​

But when the gods begin to interfere with their plans, is it a curse or a blessing?

​

'A classic fantasy adventure of heroes, villains, clashing empires and meddlesome gods. This is a story that grips from the outset and doesn't let the reader go.' David Towsey

​

'...Bond has achieved that most difficult balance ... of presenting her readers with a rousing epic and a cast of characters who we see, know, and care about from the first page.' Rebecca F John

​

'Fantasy fans will love this, but it’s also a really satisfying read for those that just enjoy the genre here and there, as they can get a hit of all the good stuff in one book. The Vagabond King manages to pack in bloodthirsty battles, magic, flying, a competition, immortality, shapeshifting, kings and queens, gods, and more!' Sarah C, The Nerd Daily
