Daughter of Blood:
The Darkness Closes In...
Malian
of Night and Kalan are returning home — but already it may be too
late. The Wall of Night is dangerously weakened, the Nine Houses of the
Derai fractured by rivalry and hate. And now, the Darkswarm is rising .
. .
Among Grayharbor backstreets, an orphan boy falls foul of dark
forces. On the Wall, a Daughter of Blood must be married off to the
Earl of Night, a pawn in the web of her family‘s ambition. On the
Field of Blood, Kalan fights for a place in the bride‘s honor
guard, while Malian dodges deadly pursuers in a hunt against time for
the fabled Shield of Heaven. But the Darkswarm is gaining strength, and
time is running out—for Malian, for Kalan, and for all of Haarth
. . .
