So I thought I'd be done with these books after this one, but you can imagine my shock when I learnt there would be a forth book. Yep there's going to be another book probably next year and well I thought this was the last one dammit! dammit! dammit! Guess that means book four will be what 900 pages?
A summery for Daughter of Blood:
A failing wall, a broken shield, and an enemy that will exploit every weakness . . .
Malian and Kalan have recovered two of the three legendary weapons of the Derai, but already it may be too late. The Wall of Night, fractured by centuries of blood feud and civil strife, is on the verge of falling.
Meanwhile, among Grayharbor backstreets, an orphan boy falls foul of dark forces. A daughter of the House of Blood must be married to the Earl of Night, a pawn in the web of her family’s ambition, and Kalan is caught in a political web he may not be able to escape.
While even as Malian dodges Darkswarm pursuers in her search for the Shield of Heaven, rumour whispers that it may be broken beyond repair – and she herself may be the blade the ancient enemy will drive into the heart of the Derai Alliance.
And I should have seen this coming because of the ending silly me.
