Omschrijving

The fourth book in the Crowthistle Chronicles. War engulfs the kingdoms of Tir. Invading armies are marching north and it seems that all is lost . . . Until a new peril looms; a far more deadly menace that threatens the entire human race. Out of this chaos emerges a stranger, a supernatural knight whose shadow-torn hair falls like the evening wind. When Asrathiel saw him she gasped, for he was so beautiful it was like pain to look at him...

'Dart-Thornton conjures up her world of Tir in the luminous yet hard-edged manner of Jack Vance and Mary Gentle' - The Washington Post -

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Do you really hate it when a book or a movie tries to cram a message down your throat?

So do I, which is why I've never done it in my books - except once. And that is a message so important that I could not let myself be stopped by the prospect of annoyed reviewers ranting at me for including it.

In this one book that does convey a message, that message is not the main thread of the story. FALLOWBLADE is about beguilement and enchantment, passion and vengeance, strangeness, mystery, beauty and peril. Many people have written to tell me how much they loved it. Some have even said it's their favorite. People who care about non-humans will like FALLOWBLADE, as will fantasy lovers, romantasy lovers, and readers who have enjoyed any of my other fantasy series.

I place ethics above popularity. When it's a choice between selling more books and not changing things for the better, or selling fewer books and improving the life of at least one creature, I don't hesitate to opt for the second choice.

You would too, right?

The powers that be have warned me not to mention messages in any blurbs or references to this book, in case it puts readers off. However, I don't want to present FALLOWBLADE under false pretenses. It has a message woven in, but it's more than that. Much more.

Read it at your own risk.

Love from Cecilia.
