Description
Rising from their sea-torn ships like vengeful, pale phantoms, the Norlanders laid waste to the Shadar under cover of darkness. They forced the once-peaceful fisher folk into slavery and forged an alliance with their former trading partners, the desert-dwelling Nomas tribe, cutting off any hope of salvation.
Now, two decades after the invasion, a rebellion gathers strength in the dark corridors of the city. A small faction of Shadari have hired the Mongrel, an infamous mercenary, to aid their fledgling uprising—but with her own shadowy ties to the region, she is a frighteningly volatile ally. Has she really come to lead a revolution, or for a more sinister purpose all her own?
This thrilling new epic fantasy is set in a quasi-Medieval Mediterranean region, drawing together the warrior culture of Vikings, the wanderlust of desert nomads, and the oracles of ancient Greece. Blood's Pride is an intricate, lush book full of taut action, gut-wrenching betrayal, and soaring romance.
Advance Praise
“Plot and pacing to leave you breathless, characters you will treasure—a
terrific debut!”
—Melanie Rawn, author of Touchstone
“Eve
Manieri deftly portrays three clashing cultures about to be torn apart by
violent rebellion. Against the background of war and revolution, three
mismatched couples struggle to stay true to their families, themselves, and the
ones they love. I found myself deeply engrossed in this fast-paced tale of honor
and betrayal, hope and despair, secrets, revelations, and a whisper of divine
magic.”
—Sharon Shinn, author of Troubled Waters
“This clever
take on epic fantasy, filled with unexpected twists and turns right to the end,
will undoubtedly appeal to fans of Michelle West and Patricia Bray.”
—Rachel
Neumeier, author of the Griffin Mage Trilogy
