Book description
An uneasy truce exists between the thanes of the True Bloods. Now, as
another winter approaches, the armies of the Black Road march south,
from their exile beyond the Vale of Stones. For some, war will bring a
swift and violent death. Others will not hear the clash of swords or see
the corpses strewn over the fields. They instead will see an opportunity
to advance their own ambitions. But all, soon, will fall under the
shadow that is descending. For, while the storm of battle rages, one man
is following a path that will awaken a terrible power in him - and his
legacy will be written in blood. Brian Ruckley lives in Edinburgh. You
