Fifteen-year-old Wulliam is dreading taking up his family's mantle of Riverkeep, tending the river and fishing corpses from its treacherous waters. But then everything changes. One night his father is possessed by a dark spirit, and Wull hears that a cure lurks deep within the great sea-beast known as the mormorach. He realizes he must go on an epic journey downriver to find it - or lose Pappa forever. Action & Adventure Science Fiction & Fantasy Fiction

Critic reviews

Riverkeep is utterly engrossing. There are elements of Game of Thrones in the grittily realised violence; there is Gormenghast in the grotesque comedy; and it has the strange magic of Earthsea. The prose is by turns dense, sensuous, and funny, but never less than gripping. A superb debut novel (Anthony McGowan)

Not very a fast paced book, good descriptions. Needed a better ending, characters tied together well.

A great book with a good storyline.

James Cosmo brought to life the characters in this beautifully written book.
Wiull is a lovely caring and brave character who really becomes a very humble hero in this story. I really do hope there is a sequel to this book, as the author gives the impression that there are many more adventures for the characters in Riverkeep.

Excellent debut for author Martin Stewart
