“A richly told tale of strange magic, dark treachery, and conflicting loyalties, set in a well realized world.” —New York Times–bestselling author Robin Hobb
An award-winning poet and acclaimed author of Young Adult fiction, Helen Lowe now brings us The Heir of Night—the first book in her Wall of Night series, a brilliant epic fantasy saga of war, prophecy, betrayal, history, and destiny. A thrilling excursion into a richly imagined realm of strife and sacrifice, where the fate of a dangerously divided world rests in the hands of one young woman, The Heir of Night is a fantasy classic in the making, sure to stand alongside the much beloved works of J.R.R. Tolkien, Robin McKinley, and Guy Gavriel Kay.
“The Wall of Night series has the potential to become a classic right there with the likes of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.” —SF Site
