Book excerpt: A matchless warrior is pitted against a near-God in the second epic installment of the Raven’s Blade series. It has long been our lot in life, brother, to do what others can’t. Vaelin Al Sorna was known across the realm as the greatest of warriors, but he thought battles were behind him. He was wrong. Prophecy and rumor led him across the sea to find a woman he once loved, and drew him into a war waged by the Darkblade, a man who believes himself a god—and one who has gathered a fanatical army that threatens all of the known world. After a costly defeat by the Darkblade, Vaelin’s forces are shattered, while the self-proclaimed immortal and his army continue their terrible march. But during the clash, Vaelin regained some of the dark magic that once gave him unrivaled skill in battle. And though the fight he has been drawn into seems near unwinnable, the song that drives him now desires the blood of his enemy above all else…

Download or read book A Shadow Above written by Joe Shute and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For millennia, we have tried to explain ourselves using the raven as a symbol. It occupies a unique place in British history and has left an indelible mark on our cultural landscape. The raven's hulking black shape has come to represent many things: death, all-seeing power, the underworld, and a wildness that remains deep within us. Legend has it that the fate of the nation rests upon the raven, and should the resident birds ever leave the Tower of London then the entire kingdom will fall. While so much of our wildlife is vanishing, ravens are returning to their former habitats after centuries of exile, moving back from their outposts at the very edge of the country, to the city streets from which they once scavenged the bodies of the dead. In A Shadow Above, Joe Shute follows ravens across their new hunting grounds, examining our complicated and challenging relationship with these birds. He meets people who live alongside the raven in conflict and peace, unpicks their fierce intelligence, and ponders what the raven's successful return might come to symbolise for humans in the dark times we now inhabit.
Download or read book Queen of Fire written by Anthony Ryan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “deftly and originally executed” (Booklist) New York Times bestselling novel, Vaelin Al Sorna must help his Queen reclaim her Realm. Only his enemy has a dangerous new collaborator, one with powers darker than Vaelin has ever encountered… “The Ally is there, but only ever as a shadow, unexplained catastrophe or murder committed at the behest of a dark vengeful spirit. Sorting truth from myth is often a fruitless task.” After fighting back from the brink of death, Queen Lyrna is determined to repel the invading Volarian army and regain the independence of the Unified Realm. Except, to accomplish her goals, she must do more than rally her loyal supporters. She must align herself with forces she once found repugnant—those who possess the strange and varied gifts of the Dark—and take the war to her enemy’s doorstep. Victory rests on the shoulders of Vaelin Al Sorna, now named Battle Lord of the Realm. However, his path is riddled with difficulties. For the Volarian enemy has a new weapon on their side, one that Vaelin must destroy if the Realm is to prevail—a mysterious Ally with the ability to grant unnaturally long life to her servants. And defeating one who cannot be killed is a nearly impossible feat, especially when Vaelin’s blood-song, the mystical power which has made him the epic fighter he is, has gone ominously silent… ***Don't miss the continuation of this epic saga: The Wolf's Call, A Raven's Blade Novel available July 23, 2019***

Download or read book Of Ravens and Shadows written by Abigail S. Jean-Louis and published by Abigail S. Jean-Louis. This book was released on with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she was five years old, Avigayil bat Abiyah went outside her home to find her father laying on the ground the night of Passover, dagger buried into his back. Beside her stood her weeping mother, Chavivah, holding her three-year-old brother in her arms. She knew exactly who did it. It was none other than Menahem, leader of the deadliest group of assassins in the land, and her father’s own cousin. For the safety of her family, Chavivah took her two children and escaped the city under the cover of night, vowing to never return under the shadow of violence and betrayal that had killed her husband. Eleven years later, and Avi is now a thief. She is part of a faction of Robin-hood like thieves and spies named the Orev (or Ravens), a group named after birds, an omen of foreboding. High in the ranks with personal ties to their leader, she is a legend, a girl thriving in a world of men. But her reasons for this lifestyle aren’t what most expect. Her goals are simple: provide for her family and find the man who killed her father to return the favor. But the world she lives in isn’t as simple as a girl wanting to get revenge. Judea is a haven of corruption, violence, and rebellion bubbling beneath the surface. With all of this happening, the Jews are ready to revolt, and when a fire in Rome raises the taxes in Judea, it is only a matter of time. Avi, being in one of the most influential organizations at the time, is forced to take her place with her people in a war bound to happen. This forces her to make a choice between the loyalty to her people, or the revenge she has wanted for so long. She is sure she can manage both. And in the midst of all this, a familiar face with green eyes comes back into the picture, a boy turned man carrying shadows of the past she wants to forget. He wants nothing more than to help her on her quest, but there is one issue. He, Dahveed, is an assassin, a member of a group named the Sicarii, the very group run by the man who killed her father. The first time they met was the day of her father’s murder, and now, over a decade later, they find themselves on opposite sides of a bloody rivalry. As he tries to grow closer to her and gain her trust, he soon faces shadows of his own, being both Greek and Jew in a land where the two do not get along. The loyalties of both are tested. And when the inevitable war does indeed break out in their beloved homeland, some problems no longer become a priority, shadowed by even more loss, pain, betrayal, and death. The leader of the Orev is murdered before Avi’s own eyes, and with his sudden death, she is pushed to the forefront as the new leader of the faction, now no longer able to hide from Menahem and the others wanting the end of the thieves. And when the war does break out, Avi finds her chance, exacting the revenge she’s wanted for so long. But this comes at the cost of the lives she’s vowed to protect, the lives of so many she cared for, leaving Avi to fend and defend her war-torn homeland. A homeland bound to lose.
