    <![CDATA[An uneasy truce exists between the thanes of the True Bloods.Now, as another winter approaches, the armies of the Black Road march south, from their exile beyond the Vale of Stones. For some, war will bring a swift and violent death. Others will not hear the clash of swords or see the corpses strewn over the fields. They instead will see an opportunity to advance their own ambitions. But all, soon, will fall under the shadow that is descending.For, while the storm of battle rages, one man is following a path that will awaken a terrible power in him -- and his legacy will be written in blood.&quot;A gripping story that builds to a grim climax. No one who enjoys heroic fantasy should miss this.&quot; --- The Times (London)&quot;An epic tale of revenge, betrayal and greed...an intriguing and imaginative story.&quot; --- Dreamwatch]]>

    <![CDATA[Following the events described in <em>Winterbirth</em>, the war between the Black Road and the True Bloods spreads.  As ever greater battles are fought, so each side in the conflict becomes ever more riven by internal dissent and disunity.  <br/><br/>Amidst the mounting chaos, Aeglyss the <em>na'kyrim</em> gradually masters the remarkable powers that have been unleashed upon him by his crucifixion.  Twisting everything and everyone around him to serve his own mad desires, he begins to exert a dangerous, insidious influence over the course of events both near and far.  <br/><br/>Orisian, lord of the ruined Lannis Blood, faces not only the consequences of that malign influence, but also the machinations of his supposed allies and the stirring of the long-dormant Anain, the most potent race the world has ever known.]]>

    <![CDATA[The True Bloods are in disarray, their alliance crumbling and their armies humbled by the forces of the &lt;st1:Street w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:address w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Black Road&lt;/st1:address&gt;&lt;/st1:Street&gt;.  Aeglyss, falling ever deeper into madness, casts a shadow across all.  At the court of the High Thane, Anyara faces a savage struggle for survival against the <em>na'kyrim</em>'s possessed agent: Mordyn Jerain, the Shadowhand.  <br/><br/>In the &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:PlaceName w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Glas&lt;/st1:PlaceName&gt;&lt;st1:PlaceType w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Valley&lt;/st1:PlaceType&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, Kanin, the embittered Horin-Gyre Thane, plots a desperate rising against the halfbreed.  But ultimately it will be Orisian, Thane of a Blood that no longer exists, who must stand face to face with a darkly transcendent Aeglyss and make the sacrifice - of himself and others - required to end the threat he represents. <br/><br/>FALL OF THANES is the spectacular conclusion to the Godless World trilogy, a sweeping epic of war, politics and empire.]]>
