Book Description
Second volume in exciting new fantasy epic
Product Description
In The Paladin the reader was introduced to Elinor Whiteblade a rebellious young woman more interested in escaping to the arms of her piratical lover than pursuing an arranged and dutiful marriage. Her rebellion sees her banished from home and set out on an epic journey that culminates in her becoming the saviour of a race of mutants - half- human, half-animal - and the wielder of the magical sword Whiteblade. In The Songster Elinor faces the trials of life as an exile, as a legend she would rather not personify and worse still as the sworn enemy of one of the most powerful and violent sorcerers the land has yet seen.
About the Author
SALES POINTS * Epic sword and sorcery fantasy from a new talent - likened to the bestselling David Gemmell * In Elinor Whiteblade, Nichols has created a heroine to rival Maggie Furey's Aurian * 'The best part of this book is that it doesn't come across like an odyssey...The characters are so accessible, and their thoughts so unheroic, that, at times times you can recognise yourself... Well-written, and funny in a not-trying-to-impress way. Nice One' Area 51 * 'Millennium is pushing Nichols as the next David Gemmell, and not without reason...inventive and descriptive powers are both of a high order' Interzone
