Product Description
Book Description
There is a new Saviour in the Land - but the people may come to regret the 'peace' he offers ...
Product Description
Continuing the powerful epic that started with THE STORMCALLER; the Lord Isak is dead, his armies and entire tribe in disarray. It falls to King Emin to continue the war alone, and the Menin are only too happy to meet his challenge. In Byora, Ruhen is developing his 'Saviour' persona. The Harlequins start preaching in his name and many of the pilgrims who flock to him are recruited to be 'Children', disciples who spread Ruhen's message. All over the Land people are starting to see Ruhen as the answer to their troubles. A showdown is coming: battle lines are finally drawn and the atrocities quickly mount. The spectre of the Great War looms, but in this age the Gods cannot and will not come to King Emin's aid. With the peoples of the Land turning against Emin and his few remaining allies, their only chance for survival lies in the hands of a dead man.

So, I was wrong. In the Grave Theif, Tom Lloyd seemed to me to have lost sight of his series, delivering sketchy characters and skipping over key events. Here, suddenly, the action, plotting and characterisation suddenly feel far tighter, and the level of detail and description is ratcheted up a notch.
From the beginning, the description of Mihn's descent into the underworld is tense and gripping, and the action continues with a lot of surprises, twists and very well done set pieces in terms of major battles and commando style raids. My only complaint is that the book lacks a central key figure - not unexpected given Isaac's death at the end of the Grave Theif, but his abscence is noticable.
Still, I was very impressed overall and I am now sure that the final book in the Twilight Realm series will be a good one. I now can't wait!

If you thought that Book Three was pretty good then you're just going to love the fourth offering. You get characters that continue to grow and having to fill shoes that were left empty after the last instalment which makes this something that really will grip the readers imagination. Whilst I have been following the series since its original inception a few years ago, I like to have a reread prior to starting the new title to not only refresh my memory but to get the full reading pleasure from the book. Within this title you get everything that makes Tom a name but also a maturing writing style as the series carries wending its bloody way through your mind. It's well written, the characters gripping but above all else it's the twists as well as politicking that make this a title to savour.

can't wait for the final book!
If you are thinking of buying this you must have read the previous 3. In short, the story continues, it's as exciting as before and I can't wait for the next one.

Bad end to the series
I currently have the first two books on my Kindle and I'm reading the third in paperback, no idea why it's not available on Kindle. Read more

Best in the series so far
By far the best book in the series. The characters seem more lively (sic) than they were previously. The rate of attrition among the fair sex is quite high :)

I tend to pre-order my books in advance, following so many authors series can be confusing to say the least, so it took me a few moments to figure out just who Tom Lloyd was when i... Read more

Forth installment to Tom Lloyd's complex saga does not disappoint but...
As mentioned by the other reviewer, this book will be most enjoyable if the time elapsed since reading the previous three is very short. Read more
