Now Ryans epic tale continues as Vaelin Al Sorna discovers that there is no escape from the call of destiny  The blood-song rose with an unexpected tune  a warm hum mingling recognition with an impression of safety. He had a sense it was welcoming him home.  Vaelin Al Sorna  warrior of the Sixth Order  called Darkblade  called Hope Killer. The greatest warrior of his day  and witness to the greatest defeat of his nation: King Januss vision of a Greater Unified Realm drowned in the blood of brave men fighting for a cause Vaelin alone knows was forged from a lie. Sick at heart  he comes home  determined to kill no more. Named Tower Lord of the Northern Reaches by King Januss grateful heir  he can perhaps find peace in a colder  more remote land far from the intrigues of a troubled Realm.  But those gifted with the blood-song are never destined to live a quiet life. Many died in King Januss wars  but many survived  and Vaelin is a target  not just for those seeking revenge but for those who know what he can do. The Faith has been sundered  and many have no doubt who their leader should be. The new King is weak  but his sister is strong. The blood-song is powerful  rich in warning and guidance in times of trouble  but is only a fraction of the power available to others who understand more of its mysteries. Something moves against the Realm  something that commands mighty forces  and Vaelin will find to his great regret that when faced with annihilation  even the most reluctant hand must eventually draw a sword.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946418335797,"sku":"ByrdShop_0425265625","price":35.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780425265628_b781e864-2c41-42f0-a25e-060680bee663.jpg?v=1770144643","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tower-lord-a-ravens-shadow-novel","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
