She's telling a story about unique characters in a unique world, and she's doing it with a unique voice. More, please." – Mark Waid (Kingdom Come) "Blake Northcott is the most exciting new voice to come to superheroes in over a decade. She's got a brand new angle on this material. I genuinely think she's going to be a game-changer." - Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service) "Sometimes you get a chance to jump on board a writers career at the start, before everybody else discovers how good they are.

Action, Suspense and Comics all at once? Can I make that a double, with a large side of blow your mind? ! Try not to fall in love. I dare you!” - Regina Carpinelli, CEO and Founder of Stan Lee's Comikaze SUMMARY In his twenty-nine years, Matthew Moxon had done virtually nothing with his record-breaking IQ and unparalleled problem solving abilities. He’d been content with his lower-class existence: counting cards at the local casino, and using the winnings to finance his ever-expanding comic book collection. His life was blissfully uneventful until one morning, a dangerous fall lands him in the emergency room, and he discovers a tumor is pressing against his brain. Unable to afford experimental but potentially life-saving surgery, Moxon takes drastic action. He volunteers for ‘Arena Mode’, the year 2041's most vicious sporting event, where superhumans fight in an urban combat zone for a multi-billion dollar prize. Moxon is forced to battle opponents possessing ungodly speed, strength, and abilities once thought to exist only across the pages of superhero comics – and he’s armed with nothing more than his rapidly-diminishing brain cells. With the odds stacked impossibly against him, he fights to not only survive the wrath of the other competitors, but to unlock the mysteries buried within the Arena itself.

It has illustrations throughout by John Broglia (with grey tones by Jasen Smith), and features a full-color gallery, with character designs by Marvel, DC and Image Comics artists: - Dave Johnson (Superman: Red Son, Deadpool) - Derek Laufman (World of Warcraft: Pearl of Pandaria, Marvel vs. Capcom) - Mark McKenna (Star Wars: Old Republic, Justice League) - Steve McNiven (Guardians of the Galaxy, Civil War) - Dan Panosian (Spawn, X-Men) - John ‘Roc’ Upchurch (Rat Queens) As well as special guest artists Comic Book Girl 19 (the Comic Book Girl 19 Show), and Natasha Allegri (Adventure Time, Bee and PuppyCat) SUMMARY Thanks to an inoperable tumor pressing against his brain, Matthew Moxon was left with few options for survival. In 2041 his only chance was a multi-million dollar nanotech procedure – a price tag far out of reach until he entered ‘Arena Mode’: a no-holds-barred fighting tournament reserved for super-powered beings, where the winner would become one of the wealthiest people on the planet. Moxon escaped the grueling event with his life, as well as the grand prize...but en route to crossing the proverbial finish line he was forced to kill Sergei Taktarov: a superhuman with a legion of followers who considered him the Second Coming. In the aftermath of Arena Mode, Moxon retreats to Northern Canada in search of solace, unaware that he’ll soon be hunted by religious extremists, bounty hunters, and entire governments – all in search of the one known as 'The God Slayer'.

MAGICK IS LEAKING INTO OUR WORLD, AND AN OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO KEEP IT A SECRET.Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Craft and 007 collide in an all new magical spy thriller from Blake Northcott, the international best-selling author of Arena Mode. The North Valley Grimoire is Kickstarter's #1 MOST FUNDED & MOST BACKED original novel of 2018! SUMMARY Warrantless searches.Illegal surveillance.Prisoners locked in indefinite detention.It's all in the name of national security, or so we're told. While the government expands its power behind a veil of secrecy, a complicit media remains silent. As the world continues to spiral, it's business as usual in North Valley--a sleepy suburb known for little more than golf courses and overpriced real estate . . . until a series of murders casts a shadow over the town.When Calista Scott investigates the death of her classmate, she uncovers a secret the government has been protecting all along: magick is real. It's the most dangerous weapon in existence. And the grimoire her classmate left behind is the equivalent of a loose nuke. REVIEWS "I love this book. Blake Northcott has seamlessly shifted genres and proven she's as masterful in magic and fantasy as she was in science-fiction. Don't pick this up unless you're prepared to not put it down." - Mark Millar (Writer of Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Marvel's Civil War, Old Man Logan) "There is world-building going on all throughout fiction these days -- and then there is Blake Northcott taking it to another level. Telling the story of a magical conspiracy through the lens of teen adventure, The North Valley Grimoire is what would happen if James Patterson and J.K. Rowling had a baby and it grew up to be a best-seller." - Scott Lobdell (Hollywood screenwriter of blockbuster Happy Death Day, Marvel Comics writer of Uncanny X-Men and X-Factor) "From the first paragraph, The North Valley Grimoire grabs the reader. And once it takes hold, it refuses to let go. Successfully fusing a spy thriller and supernatural adventure is not easy, not without losing key elements that make both genres so entertaining, but Blake Northcott delivers in full, face-melting force, all while building an immersive world that you will not want to leave. She has a real winner on her hands!" - Cullen Bunn (NYT bestselling author of The 6th Gun, X-Men Blue, and Deadpool) "A razor sharp page-turner that seamlessly blends two worlds--a late 90s teen horror film, and a cat-and-mouse spy thriller where magic is a weapon. It's electric, and I've never read anything like it." - Rees Jones (co-author of Royals, with the world's #1 selling author, James Patterson) "Horror has a compelling, new protagonist in Calista Scott, and a powerful, new voice in author Blake Northcott. Read this book...but do it with the lights on." - Bryan Edward Hill (Writer at DC's Detective Comics, Hollywood scriptwriter of Ash vs. The Evil Dead) and Titans on the DC Universe steaming channel.
