As King Edward III hosts an extravagant Saint George's Day festival, the pestilence continues to spread, transforming those afflicted into something inhuman.

This gripping page-turner will grab you by the scruff of your neck, dragging you forward, never loosening its grip until the final word. Lovers of medieval dark fantasy blended with action, drama, adventure, horror, and thrills, with a post-apocalyptic touch, will love A. R. Zamaku’s Land of Morrow. It is a must-read. Running the plot on a multi-perspective timeline, Zamaku introduced me to a dynamic, exciting cast. The edge-of-the-seat suspense, spell-binding cliffhangers, and jaw-dropping plot twists hooked me. The evocative depictions colorfully breathed life into the scenes. It felt like I was back in fourteenth-century England, marveling at the culture and lifestyle of that era. The sharp conversations, entwined with sarcasm, wit, urgency, and tension, gave depth to the cast’s conflicts, intricate emotions, and complex traits, allowing me to connect with them. I loved this book.

Action-packed and gory, Land of Morrow by A.R. Zamaku presents a familiar tale with a twist, executed perfectly. The plot revolves around a zombie apocalypse, but it takes place in a time when people fought with swords and bows instead of machine guns, adding a fresh twist to the trope. Themes of survival and human responses to high stress are combined with traditional elements of good and evil. Strong character development is showcased by a diverse cast that successfully introduces knights, a few no-nonsense gals, and a Robin Hood figure into a zombie narrative. The pace of the story is brisk and filled with thrills. Combined with detailed world-building, it creates a narrative that feels both fresh and familiar within its genre. For fans of dystopian stories like The Walking Dead, Land of Morrow is an enjoyable read that will resonate as both familiar and innovative.

In Land of Morrow, A.R. Zamaku creates a world of chaos, unpredictable and fractured, where survival depends on wit, strength, and luck. This instability tests loyalties, deepens bonds, and reveals who the characters truly are: heroes, survivors, or something in between. For Alister, the chaos became a crucible, shaping him from a reluctant survivor into an unexpected leader. He is impossible to ignore; you either love him or hate him, but he leaves no one indifferent. I enjoyed the impromptu stories and wild imagination Alister uses to shape Shakra’s story. The tales constantly shift, tailored to the audience, as if he is crafting a new persona for Shakra with each telling, elevating him in the process and adding a humorous touch to a story that is at times quite dark. Who wouldn’t love a friend like Alister, someone who might hesitate at first, but when everything's on the line, proves he's exactly who you need by your side? Readers who enjoy flawed, evolving characters and deep friendships forged in crisis will undoubtedly appreciate this story, and I hope to meet Alister and his friends again in another adventure.
