About this Item

Paperback. It's not easy being evil. In Cassius Doyle's case it involves entirely too much patience. Two hundred and fifty years worth, roughly. He and his surly and feathery companion: Benedict Wormwood, have been waiting that long for an opportunity to invade the Naywist; a pristine, parallel world that Cassius was barred from so long ago. When the entrance to Naywist is compromised, Cassius will say and do anything to get his loathsome carcass across the threshold, even if it is in the middle of the Durward Estate. It's a tricky business, because Cassius can't set a toe on Durward land, not normally. Our story begins at a time of hope, for evil. Cassius's hope. But, it's going to take every last trick in his arsenal to get past the barriers, the locked door, and the guardians. Don't get him started on that furry little beast, Ajax. Disgusting creatures, ferrets. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

About the Author

H.B. Durward sprung from the South and landed in the the Pacific Northwest. God knows how. He finds his home beautiful in a heartbreaking sort of way. Especially in December. The shorter days of winter make things like: rising before nine, being nice to people, and bathing regularly, extremely difficult. When H.B. was twelve he was sure he wanted to be an artist. But, life just isn't that simple is it? The biological imperative compelled him to produce children. They nearly consumed him. But as they fumble closer to the edge of the nest, it seems he might have the freedom to indulge himself in other creations. Like writing and drawing. H.B.'s first work: The Durward Doors is currently available as an e-book and will be available in paperback form in late December. H.B. is actively working on his second book, and hopes to make that available in March of 2016. It's a tale of mystery and manipulation with a dash of horror, about a boy that runs away with the circus.
