Gogmagog: The First Chronicle of Ludwich

A journey through

the sixty-mile long

ghost of a dragon.

Meet Cady Meade, captain of the steam-launch,

Juniper. In her heyday she carried people and goods

on the river Nysis, from the thriving seaports of the

estuary into Ludwich, the capital city. But that was

years ago. Now she’s drunk, holed up in a rundown

seaside resort, telling her bawdy tales for shots of rum.

All this changes, when two strangers seek her out,

asking for transport: a young girl, very ill, and in

grave danger, and an artificial being of singular

character with secrets hidden inside his crystal skull.

But the Nysis is unlike any other river. Few can

navigate its channels, whirlpools and sandbanks; few know

of the ravenous creatures that lurk beneath the surface.

And Cady’s glory days are well behind her now…
