Land of Morrow by A. R. Zamaku is for mature fans of horror, fantasy, dystopia, adventure, and historical fiction. Saint George's Day doesn't bode well for a fallen-from-grace knight named Alister Warde. Unexpectedly, Alister's friend, Sir Godfrey de Harcourt, releases him from his cell in Windsor's prison. A terrible plague strikes England. The hordes of undead eat people alive. King Edward III has been killed. Now, Alister has a chance to flee. Alister teams up with another prisoner, a Moor he names Shakra, and a monk, Joseph Peckham, to leave Windsor and its dangers behind. But the world has drastically changed. Someone claiming to be a savior disputes the throne of England, while two mysterious refugees try to escape from him at any cost.

A. R. Zamaku's Land of Morrow is a thrilling tale about incredible adventures, blood-chilling encounters with the monstrous undead, betrayals, and unexpected friendships. The author sets this action-packed novel in the fourteenth century. Fans of historical fiction about the Hundred Years' War will find it engrossing thanks to the well-written battle scenes and excellently conveyed peculiarities of the described era. Because of the author's refreshing approach to the genre, I recommend this book to those who might avoid reading dystopia. Zamaku creates a great cast of characters with resourceful women complementing fearless and witty men. Interestingly, Alister is not very popular even among his companions. Maybe it's because he refuses to follow the crowd and prefers to stay cheerful while facing the most horrendous disaster in the history of humankind. These personality traits make Alister a unique and complex protagonist. The author skillfully combines two subplots into a riveting storyline with a powerful and logical ending.
