Blood Song – US Hardcover Released
The US hardcover edition of Blood Song is released today. It’s been a long time coming and thanks to everyone at Ace who worked hard to make it happen. Whilst the text has benefited from Ace’s editing process it remains substantially the same book as before with one chapter slightly expanded and another slightly reduced. There are also two new appendices: a dramatis personae and an explanation of the rules of Keschet, which keen eyed readers will remember as Princess Lyrna’s favourite game.
Where to buy:
Amazon.com: Blood Song (A Raven’s Shadow Novel)
Barnes & Noble
Indiebooks (support your local bookstore)
