![]() ![]() I was a huge fan of Blood Song, which I still think holds up as one of the best epic fantasy novels out there, but I was… not a fan of the sequels, to put it mildly. I have to admit that I was hesitant when it came to reading this book. And as the drums of war echo across kingdoms riven by conflict, Vaelin learns that there are some battles even he cannot hope to win. To this end, he travels to the realms of the Merchant Kings – a strange land ruled by honour and intrigue. When Vaelin learns that Sherin, the woman he lost long ago, has fallen into the Horde’s grasp, he resolves to confront this powerful new threat. Yet whispers have spread across the sea of an army called the Steel Horde, led by a man who thinks himself a god. ![]() Now he lives a quiet life, his days of warfare behind him. It was his leadership that overthrew empires and his sacrifice that saved the Unified Realm from destruction. ![]()
