Welcome to Rotherweird: a town with no maps, no guidebooks and no history, but many many secrets . . . A stunning combination of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and Gormenghast with a dash of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The town of Rotherweird stands alone - there are no maps and no guidebooks, despite the tangled architecture, avant garde science and offbeat rituals. Cast adrift from the rest of England by Elizabeth I, its independence is subject to one disturbing condition: nobody, but nobody, studies Rotherweird or its history.
