SIEGE OF THE DEAD! Ranulf, a young English knight sent to recapture Grogen Castle from Welsh rebels, comes into conflict with his leaders over their brutal methods. Unbeknownst to any of them, the native druids are planning a devastating counterattack, using an ancient artefact to summon an army that even the castle¹s superstitious medieval defenders could never have imagined. Grogen Castle, seemingly impregnable to assault armed with fiendish devices to slaughter would-be attackers in their multitudes is besieged by countless, tireless soldiers forged from bone and raddled flesh. As lives are held in the balance, Ranulf must defy his masters and rescue the daughter of his enemy, but hope lasts only so long as the stronghold holds out against the legions of the angry dead... Tomes of The Dead: Stronghold is a zombie novel with a difference, set in the dark world of medieval Wales.
