An emperor's daughter who refuses to be sidelined. A reluctant prince forced to take a stand. In a world of blood and magic, a powerful epic fantasy begins...
Angus Macallan is a pseudonym for a British fiction writer and former journalist who is now based just outside London. He was born in China and lived, worked, and studied in Asia for much of his early adult life. He was awarded a masters degree with honors in social anthropology by the University of Edinburgh, partly based on his fieldwork in Indonesia, which led to a dissertation- "Magic, Sorcery and Society." He also worked as a journalist in Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
Praise for Angus Macallan and Gates of Stone
"With tense political drama and rip-roaring action in a fresh and
believable Asian-inspired setting, Gates of Stone reads like a
collaboration between Joe Abercrombie and James Clavell. Add
ancient feuding sorcerers and a queen who would eat Cersei
Lannister for breakfast, and you have the makings of an excellent
fantasy debut. Angus Macallan is a compelling new voice in epic
fantasy."—Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones
"I meant to give Gates of Stone a quick look before I started
reading it--and couldn't put it down. Angus Macallan is a brilliant
storyteller!"—Taylor Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of
the Destroyermen series
"Macallan . . . has created a solid fantasy debut with a strong yet
brutal princess who recalls George R. R. Martin's Cersei Lannister.
Epic worldbuilding with extensive Asian influences, especially
Indonesian, meets bold characters and detailed battles across land
and sea."--Library Journal
