Jusqu'à ce qu'une trahison l'entraîne sur le chemin du sang et de la vengeance, un chemin qui fera de lui un soldat dans l'armée du roi.Placé sous les ordres de dame Evadine, une noble tourmentée par des visions peuplées de démons, Alwyn doit survivre à la guerre et aux intrigues mortelles de la noblesse pour obtenir vengeance.

The Black Song is the action-packed conclusion to the Raven's Blade series by Anthony Ryan, which began with The Wolf's Call . The Steel Horde has laid waste to the Venerable Kingdom, unleashing a storm of fire and blood. Now the leader of this mighty host - Kehlbrand, the warlord who thinks himself a god - turns his eyes to the other merchant kingdoms. No one can stop his divine conquest. No one, perhaps, except Vaelin Al Sorna. Yet Vaelin is on the run, his own army in disarray. Worse, the new blood song he has acquired is as much a curse as a blessing, and seeks to guide him down a path far darker than he could have imagined . . .

Anthony Ryan's Raven's Shadow trilogy took the fantasy world by storm. Now he returns to the world of this acclaimed series with The Wolf's Call , an action-packed new adventure featuring fan-favourite Vaelin Al-Sorna. A STORM IS COMING Vaelin Al Sorna is a living legend. It was his leadership that overthrew empires, his blade that won hard-fought battles, and his sacrifice that saved the Unified Realm from destruction. Yet Vaelin has turned his back on prestige and glory to live a quiet life in the Realm's northern reaches. Now whispers have come across the sea of an army called the Steel Horde, let by a man who believes himself a god. Vaelin has no desire to fight another war, but when he learns that Sherin, the woman he lost long ago, has fallen into the Horde's grasp, he resolves to confront this powerful new threat. To do so, Vaelin travels to the realms of the Merchant Kings, a land ruled by honour and intrigue. And as the drums of war echo across kingdoms riven by conflict, Vaelin learns that there are some battles even he cannot hope to win.
