Osric Fingerbone and the Spring of Jacks

by Michael-Israel Jarvis

Overview

Mayhem blossoms throughout the city as Osric struggles to correct the bloody sins of his past. His apprentice Edward Sax has become difficult to guide; the Boy Murderer is thirteen years old, grieving his sister's betrayal, and is full of anger - a dangerous combination. Eleanor, out for vengeance, makes her plans. But so too does a figure from the deeps of the undercity - Londun is about to learn a new name, as smoke rises and blood runs from the rooftops.

About the Author

Michael-Israel Jarvis was born in Cambridge, brought up in Bishop's Stortford and moved to Great Yarmouth in his teens. He got his degree in Creative Writing at the University of Northampton and returned to Great Yarmouth with his wife, Katie.

Michael-Israel writes principally for Young Adults, which is what he intends to be until he's very, very old. Further explorations of the genres he prefers to write in throw up fantasy, adventure, coming of age stories and more. If possible, he prefers to write in a way that bends the distinction between different genres. Why shouldn't the superhero trope take place within a fantasy novel? And however serious a book is, shouldn't humour weave its way in?

Michael-Israel Jarvis is the author of "Gravedigger" which was published by Booktrope prior to the publisher's dissolution. He has also written the first novel in an epic fantasy sequence, "The Maker's Bloodline: Land Rising" and is the author of The Osric Fingerbone books, "Osric Fingerbone and the Boy Murderer" and its sequel, "Osric Fingerbone and the Spring of Jacks".

Sequels to all will follow.
