The Broken King by Philip Womack
The Broken King, the first book in The Darkening Path trilogy, is a thrilling fantasy adventure that takes its cue from Browning's poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came." It tells the story of a boy called Simon who must search for and fight a terrifying enemy when his little sister is snatched away to a dark underworld. He is accompanied by Fiona, who has lost her brother in similar mysterious circumstances, and a strange, un-named boy who rescues them from a violent attack in the middle of the night. Instructed by a strange winged-deer messenger, they are told that together they must complete three tasks before they can enter the world of the Broken King to find them.Philip Womack is a journalist and is the Patron of Reading for London’s Haringey borough. Philip was educated at Lancing College and Oxford University, where he read Classics and English at Oriel College. He is also a Fellow at First Story, currently being Writer in Residence at St Augustine’s in Kilburn. He lives in London.
