Dirk Strasser understands the next level of authorial engagement in a story, and in this Big Idea for Conquist, he goes there, and takes you with him."

"Conquist is swiftly paced and filled with action and political intrigue... As a reader who does not typically engage with the fantasy genre, I found Conquist to be very accessible and the historical elements made it more enjoyable for me. Strasser has already turned his novel into a screenplay, and I can certainly see the great potential for this novel to be successfully adapted for the screen. Ultimately, fans of the fantasy genre will find much to enjoy in Conquist."

Synopsis
It was fear of missing out on life and succumbing to cats that drove 49-year-old Fenella Woodruff into a house share with young, free singletons. Juggling her job at a gallery with the demands of an invalid mum, the arrival of a handsome new housemate near her age throws Fen into a spin. For Martin, who radiates a certain woodland charm, she is keen to act as sounding board over a bottle of wine while his divorce plays out.

As the younger housemates embark on carnal adventures of their own, things look hopeful--until Fen is dragooned into accompanying her parent on a Norwegian fjord cruise. Onboard ship, her focus switches to Mother, who voices strong opinions on her daughter’s life while refusing to let infirmity dictate her own, and to an enigmatic gentleman they meet in Bergen.

Normal service resumes when Fen returns home, ready to turn things up a notch with Martin. But a horrid surprise awaits…

Synopsis
Capitán Cristóbal de Varga’s drive for glory and gold in 1538 Peru leads him and his army of conquistadors into a New World that refuses to be conquered. He is a man torn by life-long obsessions and knows this is his last campaign. What he doesn’t know is that his Incan allies led by the princess Sarpay have their own furtive plans to make sure he never finds the golden city of Vilcabamba. He also doesn’t know that Héctor Valiente, the freed African slave he appointed as his lieutenant, has found a portal that will lead them all into a world that will challenge his deepest beliefs. And what he can’t possibly know is that this world will trap him in a war between two eternal enemies, leading him to question everything he has devoted his life to - his command, his Incan princess, his honor, his God. In the end, he faces the ultimate dilemma: how is it possible to battle your own obsessions . . . to conquer yourself?

- Review Corner - The Peacemaker by Janet Dean Knight

We love this book and want you to love it too... so many great reviews!

Naomi Booth | author of Sealed: The Lost Art of Sinking Janet Dean Knight writes with care and exquisite precision about the details of working-class lives. Her writing is full of the lyricism and beauty, as well as the deep griefs, of everyday life. The Peacemaker brings the past into new focus, and makes the seemingly ordinary glitter in extraordinary ways.

Clara Challoner Walker | Author of A Tapestry of Vice and Virtue The Peacemaker is a skillfully crafted historical novel, set in the North of England. The story centres on Violet, a young woman through whose vivacious, curious gaze, the reader takes a fascinating journey through family life, loves, lies and secrets.

On one level, Janet Dean Knight expertly evokes the essence of the North York Moors, its villages, and communities, as each struggles to navigate the aftermath of the First World War. On another level, Violet’s journey reflects the journeys upon which women still embark, nearly one hundred years later.
