Product Description Set in the same world as War of the Lords Veil, this novel tells a parallel story of ordinary men struggling against oppression and sorcery, but two generations have lived and died since the earlier events. About the Author * Epic sword and sorcery fantasy from a new talent - likened to the bestselling David Gemmell * In Elinor Whiteblade, Nichols has created a heroine to rival Maggie Furey's Aurian * 'The best part of this book is that it doesn't come across like an odyssey...The characters are so accessible, and their thoughts so unheroic, that, at times times you can recognise yourself... Well-written, and funny in a not-trying-to-impress way. Nice One' Area 51 * Millennium is pushing Nichols as the next David Gemmell, and not without reason...inventive and descriptive powers are both of a high order' Interzone
