In Blood Song, Anthony Ryan introduced readers to “a
fascinating world of conflicting religions and the wars
fought in the name of those faiths” (Library Journal). Now
Ryan’s epic tale continues as Vaelin Al Sorna discovers that
there is no escape from the call of destiny…
“The blood-song rose with an unexpected tune, a warm hum
mingling recognition with an impression of safety. He had a
sense it was welcoming him home.”
Vaelin Al Sorna, warrior of the Sixth Order, called
Darkblade, called Hope Killer. The greatest warrior of his
day, and witness to the greatest defeat of his nation: King
Janus’s vision of a Greater Unified Realm drowned in the
blood of brave men fighting for a cause Vaelin alone knows
was forged from a lie. Sick at heart, he comes home,
determined to kill no more. Named Tower Lord of the Northern
Reaches by King Janus’s grateful heir, he can perhaps find
peace in a colder, more remote land far from the intrigues
of a troubled Realm.
But those gifted with the blood-song are never destined to
live a quiet life. Many died in King Janus’s wars, but many
survived, and Vaelin is a target, not just for those seeking
revenge but for those who know what he can do. The Faith has
been sundered, and many have no doubt who their leader
should be. The new King is weak, but his sister is strong.
The blood-song is powerful, rich in warning and guidance in
times of trouble, but is only a fraction of the power
available to others who understand more of its mysteries.
Something moves against the Realm, something that commands
mighty forces, and Vaelin will find to his great regret that
when faced with annihilation, even the most reluctant hand
must eventually draw a sword.
