Seven strangers. One mission. Infinite horror.

A man awakes on a boat at sea with no memory of who or where he is. He's not alone - there are six others, each with a unique set of skills. None of them can remember their names. All of them possess a gun.

When a message appears on the onboard computer - Proceeding to Point A - the group agrees to work together to survive whatever is coming.

But as the boat moves through the mist-shrouded waters, divisions begin to form. Who is directing them and to what purpose? Why can't they remember anything?

And what are the screams they can hear beyond the mist?

Internationally bestselling fantasy author Anthony Ryan - writing as A. J. Ryan - delivers a nerve-shredding thriller in which seven strangers must undertake a terrifying journey into the unknown.

Anthony Ryan

Anthony Ryan’s name has become synonymous with epic fantasy that doesn’t just create worlds, but breathes life into them. Known for his intricate storytelling and deeply complex characters, Ryan’s works resonate with readers who crave more than just escapism—they want a story that challenges their perceptions and stays with them long after the final page.

Born in 1970 in Scotland, Ryan’s path to becoming a full-time writer was far from conventional. He worked in the British Civil Service for many years, but his passion for storytelling was never far from the surface. It wasn’t until 2011, when he self-published his debut novel Blood Song, that Ryan’s writing career truly began to take off. The book quickly found an enthusiastic audience, and its success led to a three-book deal with Penguin Books just a year later, marking the beginning of his rise in the fantasy world.

The Raven’s Shadow series, starting with Blood Song, introduced readers to Vaelin Al Sorna, a warrior monk caught between the brutality of war and his own moral compass. The book’s gripping action, morally gray characters, and deep exploration of power, sacrifice, and destiny quickly earned it a loyal fanbase. Ryan’s ability to blend high-stakes drama with introspective character development became a hallmark of his writing style.

But Ryan isn’t just a one-series wonder. His Draconis Memoria trilogy takes a bold leap into the realm of epic fantasy with a touch of steampunk and high adventure, tackling themes of colonialism, exploitation, and the politics of power. In The Seven Swords and The Covenant of Steel, Ryan continues to demonstrate his range, delving into new mythologies and exploring how personal choices shape the course of history.

Throughout his career, Ryan’s stories have remained grounded in the human experience, no matter how fantastical the setting. His writing doesn’t just focus on the grand battles or the magic that shapes his worlds, but on the emotional and ethical struggles of those caught in the midst of them. Readers come for the dragons and the duels, but they stay for the journey of characters like Vaelin, whose internal conflicts often mirror the external ones he faces.

Ryan’s works are not just celebrated for their epic scope, but for the emotional weight they carry. Whether he’s writing about the blood-soaked fields of a battlefield or the delicate politics of an empire, his books resonate with readers who appreciate both action and depth. With a growing catalog of novels and a steadily expanding fanbase, Anthony Ryan is a name to watch in the realm of fantasy, where he continues to push boundaries and craft tales that explore the true cost of heroism.
