<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Raised by the Brothers of the Sixth Order, Vaelin Al Sorna, a Warrior of the Faith, must battle the Empire and even his own father in the first book of a new fantasy trilogy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The first in the "powerful" (SFFWorld.com) <i>New York Times</i> bestselling fantasy series.</b> <p/>Vaelin Al Sorna was only a child of ten when his father left him at the iron gate of the Sixth Order to be trained and hardened to the austere, celibate and dangerous life of a warrior of the Faith. He has no family now save the Order. <p/> Vaelin's father was Battle Lord to King Janus, ruler of the Unified Realm--and Vaelin's rage at being deprived of his birthright knows no bounds. Even his cherished memories of his mother are soon challenged by what he learns within the Order. <p/> But one truth overpowers all the rest: Vaelin Al Sorna is destined for a future he has yet to comprehend. A future that will alter not only the Realm but the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Ryan is a new fantasy author destined to make his mark on the genre. His debut novel, <i>Blood Song</i>, certainly has it all: great coming-of-age tale, compelling character and a fast-paced plot. If his first book is any indication of things to come, then all fantasy readers should rejoice."--Michael J. Sullivan, author of the Riyria Revelations series <p/>"Fans of broadscale epic fantasy along the lines of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire novels should find this debut much to their liking."--<i>Library Journal</i> <p/>"Just impossible to put down...I had to read it ASAP and to reread it immediately on finishing, as I could not part from the wonderful universe the author created."--<i>Fantasy Book Critic</i> <p/>"Ryan hits all the high notes of epic fantasy--a gritty setting, ancient magics, ruthless intrigue, divided loyalties and bloody action...[A] promising debut."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Deftly and originally executed...A page-turner."--<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"Ryan's style is somewhat relaxed and paced extremely well...[<i>Blood Song </i>is] like the love child of Patrick Rothfuss and Joe Abercrombie writing the story of Jon Snow (of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire) in the Night's Watch...A top contender for most impressive debut of the year. It is a thick, meaty novel of substance...A powerful epic that, while ending with a sense of closure, hints at more to come."--SFFWorld.com<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Anthony Ryan</b> is a writer of fantasy, science fiction and non-fiction, and is the aythor of the Raven's Shadow novels, including<i> Blood Song, Tower Lord</i> and <i>Queen of Fire</i>.
