Antonia Hodgson

Antonia Hodgson’s writing is a thrilling plunge into the shadows of history, where secrets lurk behind every corner and characters are haunted by their pasts. Born in Derby in 1971, Antonia’s literary journey began not as a writer but as an editor, honing her craft over a long and successful career in publishing. With a degree in English Literature from the University of Leeds, she moved from editor to author, quickly making her mark in the world of historical crime fiction.

Her debut novel, The Devil in the Marshalsea (2014), introduced readers to Thomas Hawkins, a charismatic and morally complex protagonist trapped in the brutal confines of an 18th-century London prison. Written with an atmospheric tension that draws on the murky depths of history, the book became an instant success, earning Hodgson the Crime Writers’ Association Historical Dagger Award and a shortlist spot for the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award. This marked the beginning of the Thomas Hawkins series, which would go on to captivate readers with titles such as The Last Confession of Thomas Hawkins and A Death at Fountains Abbey. Her work doesn’t just entertain; it immerses readers in the grim yet fascinating realities of historical England, always with a twist of suspense that lingers long after the page is turned.

As she built her reputation with richly detailed, atmospheric narratives, Hodgson continued to captivate both critics and fans. Her recent work, The Silver Collar (2020), earned a nomination for the HWA Gold Crown, further cementing her status in the historical crime fiction world. But Antonia’s ambitions are far from limited to the past. In 2024, she made the bold leap into epic fantasy with The Raven Scholar, the first in the Eternal Path Trilogy. Set in a world where intrigue and power collide, this new series promises to expand her storytelling horizons, blending political tension with a richly imagined fantasy realm.

Through every story, Hodgson demonstrates a unique gift for complex characters and a deep respect for the historical and fantastical landscapes she crafts. Her books are a testament to the power of storytelling—whether rooted in history or born from the realms of imagination, they leave readers captivated and craving more.

Eternal Path Trilogy

In the Eternal Path Trilogy, the race for power becomes a deadly game in a world where politics, ambition, and dark forces intertwine. Set in the vast empire of Orrun, this epic fantasy series plunges readers into a world where the balance of power is at stake, and where personal loyalties are tested against a backdrop of ancient secrets and fierce rivalries.

At the heart of the trilogy is The Raven Scholar, a tale of intrigue and survival. With the Emperor's reign coming to an end, seven formidable contenders emerge to vie for the throne, each representing one of Orrun’s noble houses. But when one contender is found murdered, the stakes skyrocket. Neema Kraa, the High Scholar of the Empire, finds herself tangled in a web of deception, murder, and treachery. As she unravels the mystery, she must confront not only political machinations but also her own fears and vulnerabilities.

The world-building in Eternal Path is rich and immersive, weaving together complex political structures, ancient myths, and the struggle for power in a dying empire. Each house, based on animal symbolism, carries its own history and secrets, creating a world where no one is truly innocent. This dark, atmospheric backdrop serves as the perfect setting for the intense character arcs that define the trilogy.

Neema's journey is at the heart of the series. Her intelligence and determination make her an unforgettable protagonist, but her personal challenges—particularly her struggle with her own identity—add depth and relatability to her character. As the competition for the throne escalates, Neema's alliances become as fragile as the empire itself. Each decision she makes could be her last, but her courage is her most powerful weapon.

What makes Eternal Path stand out is its seamless blend of high fantasy with psychological depth. The world feels alive, complex, and rich with mystery. The stakes are not just political—they are personal. The lives of the characters are inextricably tied to the fate of the empire, and every choice ripples out with consequences that could change everything.

With its compelling plot, complex characters, and an atmosphere thick with tension, the Eternal Path Trilogy is a gripping journey into a world of intrigue, betrayal, and the quest for power. As Neema and her fellow contenders fight for control, readers are taken on an unforgettable ride through a world where nothing is as it seems—and the path to the throne is fraught with danger at every turn.
