\"\"<\/a>Way back in the vasty yore that was February of this year—and what a very long time ago that seems!—you may recall that I did an interview with my friend and fellow BookSworn<\/a> author, Elspeth Cooper<\/a>, about the first two novels in her Wild Hunt<\/strong> series, Songs of the Earth<\/em><\/strong> and Trinity Rising<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Just in case you didn’t see it then or want to re-read, the interview is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now, yes NOW, the third book in the series, The Raven’s Shadow<\/strong><\/em>, is here—and I, dear readers, have snaffled a copy!<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to reading it and have been talking with Ellie about maybe even doing a ‘character’ interview— excitement!—but in the meantime, here’s what the back cover has to say:<\/p>\n

THREE MOONS ARE RISING<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

They are rising over the snowy Archen Mountains, where Teia struggles through the high passes to carry her warning to the Empire: the Nimrothi war band is poised to invade and at their head stands Ytha. She means to release the Wild Hunt \u2013 and with it Maegern the Raven, the Keeper of the Dead.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In the desert of Gimrael, the moons are rising over the fires of revolution \u2013 flames that have already robbed Gair of a friend and left him alone in a hostile city, unsure even if the Song is still his to command. He has one last duty to discharge, and then nothing will stand between him and his ultimate goal: vengeance.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And in the Nordmen\u2019s chilly halls, Savin plays out a game in which kings and chieftains and men are but pawns on a chessboard that spans the Veil itself.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

THREE MOONS ARE RISING:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

WHEN THE TRINITY IS COMPLETE,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

THE ENDGAME WILL BEGIN.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Now doesn’t that sound deliciously epic — I am definitely looking forward to reading and getting together with Elspeth to have some character interview fun afterward!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
