Description

Tropic of Skorpeo follows star-crossed lovers Rhameo and Juraletta - our hero is a prince who gallivants through the Gardens of Fleschimor, hunts tigers in the jungles of ancient Erath, and finds himself sauced up for an Amazonian feast, while our heroine has spent her entire life in Venera Castle but is about to be married to the crusty old Fissionable Duke, who looks unlikely to survive their wedding night without incinerating himself... Overflowing with quick-witted heroes and dastardly villains, the story is an absolute romp.

Awards

Shortlisted for the 2013 Sir Julius Vogel Award for best novel.
