The city of The Rook-population 152,000 (not counting the undead-and many don't)-is a curious mix of an Elizabethan and Victorian city with a fair sprinkling of intrigue and magic.

The city of The Rook is where the four schools of Thaumaturgy can be found. These comprise of Hydromancer's (water), Pyromancer's (fire), Circumancer's (air), and last (but definitely not least) Terramancer's (earth).

The Rook is the home of Erisa and Calico, the cat (who isn't actually a cat at all). Erisa wants an easy life, avoiding the officers of the law (but not the pie-men), but she's also desperate for an adventure-and she's about to find it.

Mayor Bradley Mackrell just wants to play Stickball. Captain Virgil Steele just wants everyone to do as he says. Ace reporter Verity Apley wants to get the latest scoop, and consultative detectives Lysander Ravencrest and his companion, Doctor Gregory Bancroft, just want to solve any cases presented to them without wanting to strangle each other.

Not only that, but there's a strange man with a very odd name swinging on a rope around the city, fighting crime, or at least scaring the local dog population.

But that's not all of it because something is not quite right in The City of The Rook. People keep drowning when there is a total absence of water, houses are starting to fall down, and strange earth tremors are shaking the city. And that's just for a start because there is much more going on than they all realise.

A brand-new series featuring a large cast of very odd characters, Welcome to The Rook: Book One: The Hydromancer's Stone is the first book in a trilogy of fantastic and not entirely serious adventures*.

*There may be goblins**.

**(Oh, and a map. There's definitely a map.)
