Steven Poore - Epic Fantasist & SFSF Socialist
Oh gosh, I'm being all self-promotional. Sorry, everybody.
Except that I'm not. Sorry, that is. Anyway. Yes. *clears throat*
High King’s Vengeance Releases 23rd September
Kristell Ink Books is proud to present the sequel to last year’s British Fantasy Award-nominated epic fantasy, Heir To The North. Taking up the story immediately after the events of that book, The High King’s Vengeance brings Cassia’s adventures to a stunning conclusion.
Cover: Jorge Torres
“I am the Heir to the North.”
Malessar's Curse is broken, the wards around Caenthell destroyed. The Warlock himself lies, exhausted and gravely wounded, in the rubble of his own house. And while the dire spirits trapped behind the wards for centuries are unleashed into the world once more, Cassia is confined to a cell deep in Galliarca's grand palace.
Yet Caenthell calls to her, and Cassia must answer. As Heir to the North, the throne and the power behind it belong to her. But the twisted hunger of Caenthell's spirits appals her and Cassia vows to do everything she can to defeat them.
Now, Cassia must convince both Galliarca and Hellea that they have to stand against the resurrected High King of Caenthell. She must raise an army from nothing, make uncertain alliances with princes and dragons, and fight her way into the heart of the North. And, if she is lucky, someone may live to tell her tale.
“Fear Me.”
