Product Description
his epic fantasy of enormous scope, set on a world peopled by fascinating, compelling characters who readers will take to their hearts, is a sharply observed saga of a cold, splintered world on the brink. A thousand years ago, war shook the land and decimated the Sull, a legendary ancient people. In the two previous Sword of Shadows novels, bestselling author J. V. Jones gave readers the powerful stories of Raif Sevrance and Ash March, a man and woman whose destinies place them in terrible jeopardy as they try to find themselves and save their world. Across the land, clans vie for dominance. Dangerous, arrogant clan chiefs urge their followers to frenzied battles, killing each other and plotting to defeat their rivals in spite of those among them who seek unity. But for all the vicious contention among the clans, a darker threat comes from a city with a black heart of evil, whose rulers have long sought to control the clanholds. As Ash pursues her destiny with the Sull and Raif seeks a place where he belongs, the story of their world is spun in a tale at once violent, poignant, and filled with suspense and excitement for any who love epic fantasy on a grand scale.
