Wizard’s Tower is delighted to announce the acquisition of a fantasy trilogy, None of Name, from Wales-based writer, Dienw Neb. The books are set in a world peopled by intelligent rodents (and occasionally other animals) and deal with themes of social oppression.

In the first book, None of Faith, we meet Celyn, a young vole girl who lives in The Glebe with her mother and sister. The Glebe is a strict religious community ruled over by Father Parch and his Pastors. Celyn finds it hard to follow the expectations of the Pastors and is soon in trouble.

Dienw Neb has been working with acclaimed fantasy author, Hal Duncan, who offers a book doctoring service. Neb has previously self-published two novels and a short story collection. An accomplished artist, Neb will supply the None of Name trilogy with numerous interior illustrations, and the covers.

Dienw Neb said: “This trilogy (which has so far cost one keyboard and two standard bottles of Indian Ink) will be the culmination of some words, most of which are in English and—with any luck—largely coherent. It is not dedicated to the rodents in the walls of this cottage (inhabiting &/or interred) but if they have complaint it is not discernible from their rustling. Many thanks to Wizard’s Tower for this opportunity to put those words and images before human eyeballs.”

Hal Duncan said: “Like The Handmaid’s Tale came to Beatrix Potter, None of Faith injects into its wild premise an even wilder strain of the surreal, for a sterling work of literary fabulism as audacious as it is gripping, strangeness bursting through its seams.”

Publisher, Cheryl Morgan, said: “I first met Dienw through the local writing retreats run by Jo Hall and Roz Clarke. Given the connection to Hal, I immediately took an interest as I loved Vellum and Ink. It did not surprise me to find that Dienw produced lovely prose, and books that are political and genre-defying. The None of Name trilogy is the sort of work that small presses have to exist for.”
