Blood Song: It’s The Name of the Wind with warrior monks

Blood Song by Anthony Ryan

Vaelin is eventually reunited with his sister Alornis and is named Tower Lord by King Malcius.

Queen of Fire, the third and final book of RAVEN’S SHADOW, brings the series to a conclusion that leaves much to be desired.
