’If you’re a fan of the likes of Joe Abercrombie or George R.R. Martin, then you’ll be pleased to learn that Anna Stephens has joined this august pantheon of lovingly horrible and deliciously dark writers’ STARBURST Rilporin has fallen and Corvus, King of the Mireces, reigns over an occupied land. The raiders and their dark religion have conquered, but victory came at a terrible price – the death of a god – and sparks of resistance glimmer on all sides. In the south, Mace gathers the survivors of Rilpor’s armies. Among the fierce tribes of Krike, Crys and Dom search for allies and for the truth of what binds them to the Gods of Light. And in the royal palace itself, Tara – once a soldier, now a slave – hopes to ignite a rebellion. But time is against them. A child will soon be born with the power to return the Dark Lady from death, and the long-prophesied final battle for the future of Rilpor and Mireces, of humans and gods, is near.

The Godblind Trilogy

Bloodchild

Fantasy’s most anticipated debut of the year. There was a time when the Red Gods ruled the land. The Dark Lady and her horde dealt in death and blood and fire. That time has long since passed and the neighbouring kingdoms of Mireces and Rilpor hold an uneasy truce. The only blood spilled is confined to the border where vigilantes known as Wolves protect their kin and territory at any cost. But after the death of his wife, King Rastoth is plagued by grief, leaving the kingdom of Rilpor vulnerable. Vulnerable to the blood-thirsty greed of the Warrior-King Liris and the Mireces army waiting in the mountains… GODBLIND is an incredible debut from a dazzling new voice of the genre.

Godblind

The thrilling sequel to GODBLIND, the biggest fantasy debut of 2017. The Wolves lie dead beside Rilpor’s soldiers, slaughtered at the hands of the Mireces and their fanatical army. The veil that once kept the Red Gods at bay has been left in tatters as the Dark Lady’s plans for the world come to fruition. Where the gods walk, blood is spilled on the earth. All that stands between the Mireces army and complete control of the Kingdom of Rilpor are the walls of its capital, Rilporin, and those besieged inside. But hope might yet bloom in the unlikeliest of places: in the heart of a former slave, in the mind of a soldier with the eyes of a fox, and in the hands of a general destined to be king.

Darksoul

A fantasy epic of freedom and empire, gods and monsters, love, loyalty, honour, and betrayal, from the acclaimed author of GODBLIND. For generations, the forests of Ixachipan have echoed with the clash of weapons, as nation after nation has fallen to the Empire of Songs – and to the unending, magical music that binds its people together. Now, only two free tribes remain. The Empire is not their only enemy. Monstrous, scaled predators lurk in rivers and streams, with a deadly music of their own. As battle looms, fighters on both sides must decide how far they will go for their beliefs and for the ones they love – a veteran general seeks peace through war, a warrior and a shaman set out to understand their enemies, and an ambitious noble tries to bend ancient magic to her will.

The Songs of the Drowned

The Stone Knife

Zwartziel is het vervolg op het epische De Ziener van Anna Stephens. Een duister verhaal over oorlog, familie, godsdienstextremisme en verraad dat doet denken aan de boeken van Joe Abercrombie en Scott Lynch. De Wolven liggen samen met Rilporiaanse soldaten dood op het slagveld, uitgemoord door de Mireces en hun fanatieke leger. De sluier die eens de Rode Goden op afstand hield is aan flarden gescheurd, en de plannen van de Duistere Vrouwe om de wereld te veroveren komen in vervulling. Waar de goden lopen, wordt bloed over de aarde vergoten. Alles wat nog tussen het Mireces-leger en de complete overgave van het Koninkrijk van Rilpor staat, zijn de muur van de hoofdstad, Rilporin, en de mannen en vrouwen die daarbinnen worden belegerd. Maar hoop op een goed einde kan opbloeien op de onwaarschijnlijkste plekken: in het hart van een ex-slaaf, in de gedachten van een soldaat met de ogen van een vos, en in de handen van een generaal die voorbestemd is om koning te worden. ‘Stephens lost alle verwachtingen in. Dit vervolg op De Ziener is grootser, gruwelijker en grimmiger dan ooit.’ FantasyWereld.nl

Een duister verhaal over oorlog, familie, godsdienstextremisme en verraad dat doet denken aan de boeken van Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence en Scott Lynch. Duizend jaar geleden werden de Rode Goden verstoten, en het Mirecese volk vernederd. Nu, vanuit de bergen waarnaar ze werden verbannen, schreeuwt Corvus, de koning van de Mireces, om wraak. Dom is een Wolf, lid van een kleine nederzetting die de grenzen van het nabijgelegen Rilpor bewaakt tegen invallen van de Mireces. Dom is ook vervloekt, want hij heeft een gave waarmee hij angstaanjagende visioenen van de toekomst ontvangt. Als de lijfeigene Rillirin aan de Mireces ontsnapt en ze in het dorp van de Wolven terechtkomt, voorziet Dom het ondenkbare: een verschrikkelijke oorlog tussen Rilpor en de Mireces. Ondertussen aast de listige prins Rivil van Rilpor op de troon. Hij heeft zich bekeerd tot het bloederige geloof van de Mireces en heeft hun beloofd te helpen met hun invasie om zijn vader, de koning, en zijn rechtschapen broer Janis uit de weg te ruimen. Het is nu aan Dom om de Rilporianen te overtuigen van zijn visioenen als ze een kans willen maken de invasie van de Mireces te overleven. Er is oorlog op komst, een oorlog die de wereld bedreigt zoals nooit tevoren. ‘Een bruut en pikzwart fantasy-debuut vol duistere goden en gewelddadige strijders.’ FantasyWereld.nl

De Ziener

Book Two of the new epic fantasy trilogy by the acclaimed author of GODBLIND.The Empire of Songs reigns supreme. Across all the lands of Ixachipan, its hypnotic, magical music sounds.

Lilla and thousands of warriors are trained to serve as weapons for their enemies. And Tayan is trapped at the heart of the Empire’s power and magic, where the ruthless Enet’s ambition is ever growing. Each of them harbours a secret hope, waiting for a chance to strike at the Empire from within. But first they must overcome their own desires. Power can seduce as well as crush. And, in exchange for their loyalty, the Empire promises much.

As Xessa and Lilla lead their warriors in increasingly desperate battles, their unity broken by betrayal and deception, Whisper Ilandeh finds freedom and obligation in making her own choices. Meanwhile, Shadow Tayan faces the awful consequences of his actions – and their seductive possibilities. For war is fickle, and so are people. Sometimes, the only peace possible is that bought with blood and lies. And when vengeance sings, the choices made will determine whether the flames of war are fanned – or drowned.
