Product Description

Product Description

Scree has been wiped from the face of the Land in a brutal demonstration of intent. While those responsible scatter to work on the next step in their plan, the stakes are raised - all the way to the heavens - as the Gods themselves enter the fray. Returning home to a nation divided by fanaticism, Lord Isak is haunted both by the consequences of his actions in Scree and by visions of his own impending death. As the full extent of Azaer's schemes become clearer, he realises prophecy and zealotry must play their part in his battle-plans if there is to be any chance of surviving the coming years. As a white-eye, Isak has had to embrace the darker parts of his own soul, but now the savage religious fervour sweeping his nation must also be accepted and turned to purpose, in the name of survival. With the battle lines vague and allegiances uncertain, the time for heartless decisions and ruthless action has come. Two figures oppose Isak and his allies: the greatest warrior in history, who dreams of empire and Godhood, and a newborn baby whose dreams have no limit.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Grave Thief, 19 Jan 2009
By Mr. S. Wilson "Steve Wilson" (Halifax Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Grave Thief (Paperback)
The Grave Thief

In 2007 I discovered a number of new authors that I had previously missed - Joe Abercrombie and Tom Lloyd being two of the best of them.

Abercrombie has a real edge of realism, and lashings of Dark humour, whilst the Tom Lloyd books are pure epic fantsay with strong characters and an ever deepening plot.

The Grave thief picks up from Book 2 "The Twighlight Reign" and continues the story from the destruction of Scree, which has left many scars, physical and emotional on a large portion of the characters. This is by far the darkest of the three books to date with more prominence given to the darker characters, their plots and schemes and the widening effect of their actions on the world.

The Grave Thief in my opinion is the most accomplished of the 3 books Tom Loyd has written and those who have read parts 1 and 2 of this series will only be delighted with the Grave Thief. The book sets up the final installments perfectly and is a seriously hard book to put down, such is the pace of events and the involving nature of all the characters and plots.

I would recommend this series of books to any fan of the fantasty genre - or anyone who wants a meaty series of books which are heavilly chracter driven.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book in The Twilight Reign series so far., 3 Mar 2009
WOW!! I thought the previous two novels in this series were great but this novel speaks volumes for the writing skills of the author. Lloyed has really come along with The Grave Thief, his characters are better written the landscapes of this novel are more defined, the story as a whole is far more well rounded and put together better than the previous two. After reading this book i'm really looking forward to the fourth book in this series, alas we're going to have to wait until summer of 2010 before fans can read the next instalment, The Ragged Man.

This novel is set after the events of Scree and Isak has to use all his strength and guile to hold to his power as the Lord of the Farand. There are forces at play that know one can fully understand and the Gods themselves have personally taken an involved in the world of men. Among the priests there is talk of holy wars and fanaticism is spreading throughout the cults. All of this and the threat from Menin Lord who spreads war and death through out the land, no matter what Isak and his friends must survive or Farlan and the world as they know it may well be doomed.

If you have enjoyed the previous two book in this series you're in for a treat with The Grave Thief or if you're looking for a new Fantasy series to start then this is for you. Enjoy!
