The Heroes & Demons Series

The world is ending. It may be the only people who can save it, are already broken.

Series Overview

Heroes & Demons is a modern urban fantasy saga beginning in Manchester, where everyday life collides with ancient powers and apocalyptic consequences. What begins as a sudden rupture in the ordinary world draws Rick, Sandy, and their friends into a hidden war of myth and manipulation — one that has been shaping humanity from the shadows for far longer than they ever imagined.

Across five books — Heroes & Demons, Hope & Fury, Fire & Water, and the upcoming Sinners & Saints and Fall & Flood — the series escalates in scope and intensity, exploring power, choice, faith, and the cost of survival when heroes are flawed and villains are rarely simple. As the lines between good and evil blur, the ultimate question isn’t whether the world can be saved — but what kind of world is worth saving at all.

Current Status:
Heroes & Demons, Hope & Fury and Fire & Water available now. Sinners & Saints releasing 3rd July, 2026. Fall & Flood (finale) coming 2027.

What to Expect

Urban fantasy grounded in the real world — modern Britain, ordinary lives, and supernatural chaos colliding without warning.

Character‑driven storytelling — flawed heroes, complicated friendships, evolving relationships, and people pushed to change under impossible pressure.

Strong LGBT+ representation — queer characters woven naturally into the story, not treated as tokens or side notes.

Escalating stakes across the series — each book expands the world, deepens the mythology, and raises the personal and global consequences.

Moral grey areas — heroes make bad choices, villains have reasons, and there are no clean, easy victories.

Humour alongside darkness — sarcasm, warmth, and banter cutting through apocalyptic threats and heavy themes.

Myth, magic, and modern life intertwined — ancient powers, secret organisations, and hidden wars playing out behind everyday reality.
