Cameron Johnston lives in Glasgow, Scotland, with his wife and an extremely fluffy cat. He is a swordsman, a gamer, an enthusiast of archaeology, history and mythology, a builder of LEGO, and owns far too many books to fit on his shelves. He loves exploring ancient sites and camping out under the stars by a roaring fire.
“There’s never a lull in the action, and the mismatched group provides plenty of fun, with high tension and biting arguments between the over-the-top characters keeping the pages turning… fans of grimdark fantasy will find plenty to enjoy.”
– Publishers Weekly
“Fans of dark fantasy that enjoy gallows humor alongside over-the-top blood and gore action will find this group of misfits perfectly awful”
– Booklist
“Coarse, crude, bloody, brutal, and utterly over-the-top…A go-big-or-go-home delight.”
– Locus
“Like Joe Abercrombie was persuaded to write a Warhammer novel. It’s dark and often brutal, but with a vein of intelligent playfulness running through…Cameron Johnston remains wickedly inventive…Soaring and magical, yet somehow very human and accessible”
– SFX
“A fun romp of a novel. Recommended.”

“Johnston has flipped the magnificent seven samurai trope on its head in this snarky romp of a tale. Packed with heart and humour, The Maleficent Seven is dark, bloody, and the most fun I’ve had in ages.”
– Devin Madson, author of We Ride the Storm
