Anthony Ryan is a writer of fantasy, science fiction and non-fiction, and is the aythor of the Raven’s Shadow novels, including Blood Song, Tower Lord and Queen of Fire. He previously worked in a variety of roles for the UK government, but now writes full-time.
“Ryan is a new fantasy author destined to make his mark on the
genre. His debut novel, Blood Song, certainly has it all: great
coming-of-age tale, compelling character and a fast-paced plot. If
his first book is any indication of things to come, then all
fantasy readers should rejoice.”—Michael J. Sullivan, author of the
Riyria Revelations series
“Fans of broadscale epic fantasy along the lines of Robert Jordan’s
Wheel of Time series and George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire
novels should find this debut much to their liking.”—Library
Journal
“Just impossible to put down…I had to read it ASAP and to reread it
immediately on finishing, as I could not part from the wonderful
universe the author created.”—Fantasy Book Critic
“Ryan hits all the high notes of epic fantasy—a gritty setting,
ancient magics, ruthless intrigue, divided loyalties and bloody
action...[A] promising debut.”—Publishers Weekly
“Deftly and originally executed…A page-turner.”—Booklist
“Ryan’s style is somewhat relaxed and paced extremely well…[Blood
Song is] like the love child of Patrick Rothfuss and Joe
Abercrombie writing the story of Jon Snow (of George R.R. Martin’s
A Song of Ice and Fire) in the Night’s Watch...A top contender for
most impressive debut of the year. It is a thick, meaty novel of
substance…A powerful epic that, while ending with a sense of
closure, hints at more to come.”—SFFWorld.com
