Just Arrived: “Rebellion” by Ian Irvine
Last year, when the trade paperback edition of The Gathering Of The Lost was released in the UK (the mass market edition was just out on 21 February), I and Australian epic fantasy author, Ian Irvine, did an ‘exchange of interviews’ on our UK publisher’s Orbit blog.
To read what Ian had to say, click on “Helen Lowe Interviews Ian Irvine.”
In that interview, we were focusing on Ian’s novel Vengeance, the first novel in The Tainted Realm series.
And now as a “Just Arrived” I have Rebellion, the second novel in the series.
Rebellion is, of course, epic fantasy, but just to give you more of an idea, here’s what the back cover says:
“Hightspall Is Dying.
Every year the winters worsen, and the realm’s protective magic disappeared with the traitor-king, Lyf, two thousand years ago. Now Lyf is back, bent on wiping Hightspall off the map and rebuilding his ancient land anew.
A slave orphaned by Lyf, Tali holds the key to saving the realm – or destroying it. Can she stop him before he tears Hightspall apart, and plunges the world into perpetual darkness?”
When I’m done reading, I hope to do a follow-up interview with Ian, so I’ll keep you posted on when that’s due. 🙂
