Synopsis

“Two words on the cover—Fiona McIntosh—always let me know I’m in for a good read.”

Robin Hobb

 

Fiona McIntosh is a new “Big Name” in Epic fantasy—and now she continues her remarkable Valisar Trilogy with Tyrant’s Blood, a breathtaking tale of heritage, vengeance, and destiny that returns readers to the world of violence and intrigue she introduced in Royal Exile. The story of the last remaining Valisar prince who must avenge the craven slaughter of his entire family, Tyrant’s Blood delivers on the promise of McIntosh’s earlier works—from Myrren’s Gift through the exceptional Percheron Saga. Tyrant’s Blood is another action packed treat for anyone who loves adventuring in Raymond E. Feist’s Midkemia or thrills to the dangerous wonders alive in the fantasy of Sara Douglass.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The second book in the breathtaking epic fantasy of heritage, vengeance, and destiny

A decade has passed since the barbarian Loethar brutally conquered the last remaining, most powerful realm in the Denova Set—though the coveted Valisar Enchantment, the irresistible ability to coerce and control, eludes him still. Ten years since the warlord butchered the Set's royals and feasted on their blood.

But he did not kill them all.

Having secretly escaped Loethar's wrath, the young Valisar prince Leonel has grown to manhood under the protection of the notorious highwayman Kilt Faris. Now the boy king wants more than his rightful throne of Penraven—he wants revenge. But not all of enslaved Penraven wishes for Leonel's rule; indeed, Loethar has spent the past ten years uniting the Set's realms into a peaceful, prosperous empire. And unbeknownst to all, the true inheritor of the Valisar Enchantment is awakening—and a dark threat, far more sinister than even the invasion of the barbarian horde a decade earlier, is poised to threaten the Crown and reveal the most shocking Valisar secret of all.

About the Author

Fiona McIntosh was raised in the U.K. but left London to explore the world and found herself in Australia, where she fell in love with the country and one person in particular. She has since roamed the planet for her work in the travel industry but now writes full-time and continues to draw inspiration from her travels. McIntosh lives with her husband and teenage sons, splitting her time between city life in South Australia and the wilderness of Tasmania.
