What to expect
‘This has everything you want from an epic fantasy adventure – devious Gods, hideous monsters, a portal to another dimension and a hero with an enchanted blade. Great stuff’ – Charlie Higson, author of the Young Bond series

The second book in the sweeping epic fantasy series Whispers of the Gods, perfect for fans of the Summoner trilogy by Taran Matharu and Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
WHEN DESTINIES COLLIDE, WHO WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS?
Lann is hunting monsters. It’s his destiny as bearer of the Dreadblade. But Lann would rather hunt down Kelewulf, the young necromancer who released them into the world. Consumed by his aunt’s death, he can think of nothing but revenge.
Across a dark sea, Kelewulf is mastering magic. He has persuaded the High Priestess of Hasz to tutor him. But he’s hiding a more dangerous goal: finding the heart of a god. With this terrible object in hand, he’ll return darkness to the world forever …
Lann and Kelewulf know their fates are entwined. When they finally meet, what will prevail? Spells or steel? Vengeance or mercy? Only the gods can guess.

Dark Blade is a razor-sharp, spellbinding read full of intrigue and magic. This tale truly takes the crown as the young heir to the likes of Game of Thrones and Throne of Glass
Chris Bradford on DARK BLADE
-
An epic dark fantasy set in an arcane world where kings are murdered, monsters roam and ordinary boys are given extraordinary gifts

Feasey presents a gripping fantasy world that is both lush and refreshing; unlike many fantasies that are based loosely on medieval Britain, the world of Whispers of the Gods is inspired by Nordic mythology
