Many Are the Dead — Anthony Ryan

“The Faith requires all we have.”

New York Times bestselling author Anthony Ryan returns to the Raven's Shadow world in this prequel novella set ten years before the events in Blood Song.

For decades the brothers of the Sixth Order have fought a savage war against the Lonak clans amidst the frozen peaks of their Dominion.

When word reaches the north of a fresh outbreak of the dreaded Red Hand, Brother Sollis, the finest swordsman in the Order, leads a small band to a long-abandoned castle in search of a potential cure but discovers a far greater threat lurking in the mountains.

Enemies become allies as Sollis leads an increasingly desperate fight against an inhuman enemy steeped in the power of the Dark.

'Brilliantly written… Anyone who has read Blood Song will adore this.' �" Fantasy Book Review.
