It's 2017 and the End Days are coming, beings that were once human
gathering to fight in one last great war for control of the Vellum
- the vast realm of eternity on which our world is just a scratch.
But to a draft-dodging Irish angel and a trailer-trash tomboy
called Phreedom, it's about to become brutally clear that there's
no great divine or diabolic plan at play here, just a vicious
battle between the hawks of Heaven and Hell, with humanity stuck in
the middle, and where the easy rhetoric of Good and Evil, Order
versus Chaos just doesn't apply. Here there are no heroes, no
darlings of destiny struggling to save the day, and there are no
villains, no dark lords of evil out to destroy the world. Or at
least if there are, it's not quite clear which is which. Here, the
most ancient gods and the most modern humans are equally fate's
fools, victims of their own hubris, struggling to save their own
skins, their own souls, but sometimes . . . just sometimes . . .
sacrificing everything in the name of humanity. "Vellum is a
mind-blowing read that's genuinely like nothing you've ever read
before. . . The imaginary worlds that he dreams up are stunning. .
. Vellum has expanded fantasy's limits like nothing published in
years." SFX
