Synopsis

The Moontide has come and the Leviathan Bridge stands open: now thrones will shake and hearts will be torn apart in a world at war.A scarlet tide of Rondian legions is flooding into the East, led by the Inquisition’s windships flying the Sacred Heart, the bright banner of the Church’s darkest sons. They are slaughtering and pillaging their way across Antiopia in the name of Emperor Constant. But the emperor’s greatest treasure, the Scytale of Corineus, has slipped through his fingers and his ruthless Inquisitors must scour two continents for the artefact, the source of all magical power.Against them are the unlikeliest of heroes. Alaron, a failed mage, the gypsy, Cymbellea, and Ramita, once just a lowly market-girl, have pledged to end the cycle of war and restore peace to Urte.East and West have clashed before, but this time, as secret factions and cabals emerge from the shadows, the world is about to discover that love, loyalty and truth can be forged into weapons as strong as swords and magic."Hair tells his story with aplomb in a clear and concise prose.... Mage’s Blood is one of the better [epic fantasy] first installments I’ve read in recent years." —staffersbookreview.com

The story is intense! This is a very much of a transitional book, so I think it would be almost impossible for me to judge it on its own merit. The majority of the characters are going through hell, giving them plenty of opportunities to make mistakes and either learned and grew from them, or stubbo......more

3.75*'s which is what I gave book one. I do love the historical fiction side of this story building in elements of the crusades along with politics, religious zeal and intrigue with the magic which in itself has a historical fiction origin.......more

I expected to really enjoy The Scarlet Tides as Mage's Blood grew on me quite a lot as time passed, but I did not expect the awesome novel it was, so much so that at least temporarily it jumped to my #1 sff spot of the year and #2 overall - of course time will tell if it will stay there, but The Sca......more
