Bodkins Point is a tiny town with a big secret and an annual, screwball medieval festival. And Agincourt will make you a hero if it doesn’t kill you.
And this year’s festival is more dangerous than ever. If the mock battles don’t get you killed and there are no bushfires on the horizon, you still have to watch you don’t fall prey to a vengeful former-Olympic archer and stuntwoman, Joy Robyn.
Because Joy is on a quest is about to use Agincourt as her platform for vengeance after her granddaughter is killed in a bushfire started by someone in the town.
The perfect read to surpass the wildest dreams (and nightmares) of the most dedicated cosplay fanatic.
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
‘Marlborough is that rarest thing: a dangerous Australian writer. Read them before it’s too late.’ Michael Winkler
‘Nock Loose runs a rake over decades of D-Grade Australian culture and draws a narrative between all that was caught between the tines. Feeling like the cinematic amalgam of a nineties daytime talk show, an op shop joke book, and a hijacked reddit thread, only Marlborough could (or would) write this book.’ Max Easton
Awards
