- Synopsis
- 'Fantasy cliches are dodged or given new twists; the narrative teems with clever invention . . . the writing is excellent' SFX___In Darujhistan, the saying goes that Love and Death shall arrive together, dancing... It is summer and the heat is oppressive, yet the discomfiture of the small rotund man in the faded red waistcoat is not entirely due to the sun. Dire portents plague his nights and haunt the city's streets like fiends of shadow. Assassins skulk in alleyways but it seems the hunters have become the hunted. Strangers have arrived, and while the bards sing their tragic tales, somewhere in the distance can be heard the baying of hounds. All is palpably not well.And in Black Coral too something is afoot. Memories of ancient crimes surface, clamouring for revenge and Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness, has come to right an ancient and terrible wrong. And so it would seem that Love and Death are indeed about to make their entrance...This is epic fantasy at its most imaginative, storytelling at its most exciting.___What readers are saying:***** 'Epic action and breathless tension'***** 'Dark and compelling . . . it was really hard to put down'***** 'Innovative, unexpected . . . filled with laugh out loud humour, but also terribly poignant'
