The Duat Cycle
Following in the perverted footsteps of The Avalon Cycle, the main arc of The Duat Cycle, The Thoth Trilogy, is narrated by Thoth himself, the Egyptian god of wisdom. Featuring unlikely heroes and villains who might be more worthy of pity than scorn, the apocalypse is on the menu. Can Thoth guide our heroes Water Lily and Akins to their rightful place as saviours of the known world? Or, at least, help prevent it from tumbling into the abyss caused by a butt-chomping snake plague?
Then there are the Tales Of The Dancing Dead, collections of short stories that are just as wild as the main novels. A colourful romp through Egyptian mythology, The Duat Cycle is full of Andrew Marc Rowe’s signature blend of raunchy comedy, existential philosophy, and topical digressions on the state of the modern world.
A quick note about the way I write my cycles. Essentially, there is a total of eight interrelated books set within the world of each cycle. That includes the introductory novella (part of the main book of the trilogy in every cycle except the Clovir Cycle) and a trilogy of novels, and a “Tales of” series of short story collections.
If you fall in love with the world and want the complete experience, read the entire cycle. If you just want to read the main story, check out the trilogy. If you want some bite-sized chunks to digest, check out the ‘Tales Of’ stories.
