“The Faith requires all we have.”

New York Times best-selling author Anthony Ryan returns to the Raven’s Shadow world in this prequel novella set 10 years before the events in Blood Song.

For decades, the brothers of the Sixth Order have fought a savage war against the Lonak clans amid 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)

Three Brothers and a Sister travel north in search of a possible cure and then end up helping a group of outcasts find their lost honor. I highly recommend this short story.

Sollis has always been one of my favorite characters. Any backstory to his life is much appreciated. Beautiful short story with just a hint of romance. 😍😍

Love for Sollis

Sollis and his "brothers of the Sixth Order" take an impossible mission to find a cure for the Red Hand, a deadly plague. Once confronted with all manner of beasts, controlled by the Dark, they come upon a Shaman Woman who has some answers. The struggle against the Dark is brutal and there are great losses. What is to become of Sollis and his brothers? Looking forward to listening to Blood Song, which I have already purchased!

Great Prequel

With familiar characters, jumping back into the fray is entertaining and leaves you hungry for more. If you are a fan of the storyline from Bloodsong, Tower Lord, and Queen of Fire you will enjoy this adventure with the Brothers from the Sixth Order.

I would love if Anthony Ryan gave this sort of treatment to our favorite Brothers who accompanied our hero through his journey, giving a bit more depth to who they were.

Great entry to the Raven’s Shadow series

Fun, quick background story about an interesting Brother of the VIth Order, though it doesn’t exactly answer any larger storyline questions. Nonetheless worthwhile if you’re enjoying exploring this world of Ryan’s.

Worthwhile

If you are a fan of the Ravens Shadow Trilogy this will not disappoint. Adds depths to characters you already know that will leave you dying to reread the trilogy just to get another taste of them. Worth every cent. Highly recommended.

Stand alone Stand out
