Upstarts and Rogues

We all love a loveable rogue. The clue is kind of in the name. Fantasy probably has the highest ratio of thieves, vagabonds and generally roguish men and women to normal folk of all, and there are plenty of excellent books featuring such stalwart scoundrels.

But where can you go to find such treacherous tomes? If only there was an upcoming promotion that gathered 24 of the finest indie fantasy books, bringing a whole bevy of bastards together in common cause – and bringing all their prices down to just a handful of coins?

Surprise! There is! Upstarts and Rogues is that very promotion: 24 books, all featuring, well, upstarts and rogues of all stripes (including several past SPFBO alumni), and all reduced to the bargain price of just £0.99.

Among those books is The Blackbird and the Ghost. Tal Wenlock might not like to call himself a thief, but archaeologists don’t tend to carry lockpicks, and though he’s loveable he’s definitely a bit of a rogue.

(Ok so it’s technically always £0.99, not just during this sale, but still. Books.)

If you’re after a fresh fix of banditry, conmanship or dodgy derring-do, then this is just what you need. Visit the Upstarts and Rogues website to see the full range of rogues you can get to know!

The sale runs for a week, starting on Tuesday the 29th, so dig out your wallets – but keep a tight hold on them, or you might find you’re a bit more out of pocket than you expected…
