About this ebook

TOWER LORD is the second novel in the internationally bestselling Raven's Shadow series, which began with epic fantasy blockbuster BLOOD SONG.

THE REALM BURNS.

Vaelin Al Sorna is tired of war. He's fought countless battles in service to the Realm and Faith. His reward was the loss of his love, the death of his friends and a betrayal by his king. After five years in an Alpiran dungeon, he just wants to go home.

Reva intends to welcome Vaelin back with a knife between the ribs. He destroyed her family and ruined her life. Nothing will stop her from exacting bloody vengeance - not even the threat of invasion from the greatest enemy the Realm has ever faced.

Yet as the fires of war spread, foes become friends and truths turn to lies. To save the Realm, Reva must embrace a future she does not want - and Vaelin must revisit a past he'd rather leave buried.

Ratings and reviews

For a book that was the best part of 700 pages it held my interest all the way to the end. I felt the ending was a little rushed after a huge build up hence 4 stars instead of 5. I can't wait for the next installment though, especially after the way it was left. A very good read.

After being hooked with the first book I quickly purchased and started reading this immediately afterwards. Although Vaelin is my favourite, the viewpoints of other characters really build this to a truly wonderful trilogy. The depth of characters amazed and surprised me, the realism makeing you feel and care for these people and what happens to them. A very talented writer with a great story to tell. Highly Recommend.

There are no books better than this series! Cativating, suspence, magic and the best main carracter ever The Hope Killer...with a bloodsong
