About this ebook
“Returning fans . . . will delight in . . . intricate worldbuilding” of this “impressive” epic fantasy about a woman’s quest to save her race from ancient enemies (Publishers Weekly).
A Gemmell Award–Winning Series
Malian of Night and Kalan, her trusted ally, are returning to the Wall of Night—but already it may be too late. The Wall is dangerously weakened, the Nine Houses of the Derai fractured by rivalry and hate. And now, the Darkswarm is rising . . .
Among Grayharbor backstreets, an orphan boy falls foul of dark forces. On the Wall, a Daughter of Blood must be married off to the Earl of Night, a pawn in the web of her family's ambition. On the Field of Blood, Kalan fights for a place in the bride's honor guard, while Malian dodges deadly pursuers in a hunt against time for the fabled Shield of Heaven. But the Darkswarm is gaining strength, and time is running out—for Malian, for Kalan, and for all of Haarth
Praise for the Wall of Night series:
“Helen Lowe’s Wall of Night series has the potential to become a classic, right up there with the likes of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire . . . Anyone who loves to read fantastic fiction from a true talent should read this series.” —SF Site
“With lovely prose that brings vivid life to her characters, [Lowe] creates a universe with people we care about. This is an author with a gift for fantasy.” —Catherine Asaro, Nebula Award–winning author of The Quantum Rose

Much of the history and mystery is explained while building toward a climax that is exceptional.
