About the Author

Remington Blackstaff was born in Nigeria and moved to the United Kingdom with his family at a young age.

Despite his obsession with fight choreography, he set aside any dreams of becoming a stuntman to study medicine at Royal Free and University College Medical School. Remington currently practices medicine in London, where he lives with his wife and son. He remains obsessed with martial arts, rugby, and cinema. The Durbar's Apprentice is his debut novel.
