About
New York Times bestselling fantasy series about a young man, raised as a warrior by the Sixth Order, whose yet-unknown mission is destined to change the word.
Anthony Ryan was born in Scotland in 1970 but spent much of his adult life living and working in London.
After a long career in the British Civil Service, he took up writing full time after the success of his first novel Blood Song, Book One of the Raven’s Shadow trilogy. He has a degree in history, and his interests include art, science, and the unending quest for the perfect pint of real ale.
Blood Song
Vaelin Al Sorna was only a child of ten when his father left him at the iron gate of the Sixth Order to be trained and hardened to the austere, celibate and dangerous life of a warrior of the Faith. He has no family now save the Order. Vaelin’s father was Battle Lord to King Janus, ruler of the Unified Realm—and Vaelin’s rage at being deprived of his birthright knows no bounds. Even his cherished memories of his mother are soon challenged by what he learns within the Order. But one truth overpowers all the rest: Vaelin Al Sorna is destined for a future he has yet to comprehend. A future that will alter not only the Realm but the world.
Tower Lord
King Janus’s vision of a Unified Realm has failed, drowned in the blood of brave men fighting for a cause that was forged from a lie. Sick at heart, Vaelin Al Sorna, warrior of the Sixth Order, returns home, determined to kill no more, seeking peace far from the intrigues of a troubled Realm. But those gifted with the blood-song are not destined to live quiet lives. Vaelin finds himself a target, both for those seeking revenge and those who know about his gift. And as a great threat once again moves against the Realm, Vaelin realizes that when faced with annihilation, even the most reluctant hand must eventually draw a sword.
Queen of Fire
After fighting back from the brink of death, Queen Lyrna is determined to repel the invading Volarian army and regain the independence of the Unified Realm. To accomplish her goals she must not only rally her loyal supporters, but also align herself with forces that possess the strange and varied gifts of the Dark, and take the war to her enemy’s doorstep. Victory rests on the shoulders of Vaelin Al Sorna, Battle Lord of the Realm. However, the Volarians have a new weapon on their side that Vaelin must destroy if the Realm is to prevail: a mysterious Ally with the ability to grant unnaturally long life to his servants. And defeating one who cannot be killed is a nearly impossible challenge, especially when Vaelin’s blood-song, the mystical power that has made him the epic fighter he is, has gone ominously silent…
You have to crawl before you can trotter
For as long as we can remember, us humans have always looked for new - if not weird and wonderful - ways of retaining our health and youthfulness. Apart from the usual drinking enough water, getting enough sleep and exercise and wearing sunscreen, we might try having pig trotters for dinner every now and again, or let snails crawl on our faces to tighten the pores.
Each to their own, we say, and more power to you for letting a mollusc run amok on your face. But there is certainly an easier way of getting that glow from within, and that's by checking out our deal on Harvest Table collagen granules. Tastes better than pig trotters, too!
