Binder: Gripping & Enchanting Historical Fantasy

The Sentinel Archives #2

by Samuel Griffin

The resurrection of an ancient institution. Those chosen as sacrifice. The woman who must ferry their souls to torment.

The Great Sentinel Archivist, Penelope Etherington, has discovered an instructional tome for the formation of the Sentinel a fearsome and brutal military unit and school. Forced by their masters to resurrect it, Shay Bluefaltlow is thrust to the top of society. Here the glare burns fiercely, for she is as adored for her incredible powers as she is reviled for her diverging appearance.

But she must learn to tolerate both, because wars that were once the faintest whisper of suggestion, have become a howl of bloody truth. And nowhere remains not the school, nor her students; neither weeping earth, nor the vast beings they must bond and lead to battle.

About the author

Samuel Griffin is the author of the deep and evocative flintlock fantasy series, ‘The Sentinel Archives’, starting with the debut ‘Seeker’, releasing 2024.

Prior to becoming an author, Samuel worked in several fields, studied many subjects, and has wandered much of the UK. But his wild imagination and playful inquisitiveness always taunted him, and eventually he gave in the fight, allowing himself to be dragged properly into the worlds of his dreams. He’s not looked back since.

Samuel lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, with his partner; who is herself a commercial fiction editor and ghost writer, and their cat, who is not.
