In the muddy tracks of the West Midlands, Jamie Carter, a 23-year-old amateur motocross racer from Telford, chases a dream that feels just out of reach. Haunted by the loss of his mother and burdened by financial hardship, Jamie battles more than just his rivals-like the smug, well-funded Daz Phillips-he battles his own doubts and the weight of his family's struggles. With a battered Kawasaki KX250, the support of his sister Ellie, and the reluctant guidance of his father Mick, Jamie pushes himself to the limit, racing toward a shot at the nationals and a Monster Energy sponsorship. Mud and Glory is a gritty, emotional tale of resilience, family, and the relentless pursuit of a legacy, where every jump could mean triumph-or disaster.

«If we could give it a name, we could say that my rage was biblical. I was the chariots and the plagues of Egypt. I was the Red Sea parting and David fighting the giant. I could turn men into salt if I looked at them. I was biblical. Nobody should dare take the sacred words and thread them around my wrists. I was a biblical woman. I was Judith, flirting with the general and cutting his head. Dinah, asking for my rightful part. I was Mary, pregnant teen, unwed, not letting them call the words that drip from my tongue a lie.»

Eron Smauldings, born into a destitute working-class family in the fantastical city of "Ineven," has known only a modest life in the quiet steampunk-style town of Adoris. However, chaos now engulfs even the once peaceful Ineven as the Unions of Workers and Soldiers (UWSers) rise against the weak and corrupt President-King-Lord, Dubin Duprenne, in the country of Frei'Koi'. Fearing conscription into the army, Eron and his loyal friend, Oaker Dennisen, are compelled to leave the city. Their journey takes them from Ineven to Kassock and Kasserkeltch, where fate deals them a sinister hand. They find themselves unexpectedly framed as the suspected killers of a prominent political family, entangling them in a treacherous web of betrayal, backstabbing, and a second murder. Power struggles abound, forcing Eron and Oaker to confront their inner demons, as their very friendship and bond are tested. Amidst the turmoil, Eron and Oaker must make a harrowing choice: to embrace the darkness within and fight for what they hold dear, or forsake everything in a desperate bid for freedom. Will they emerge from this tumultuous journey unscathed, or forever be haunted by the thirteenth time?
