Giveaway! 'Shadowrise' (Tad Williams)


Every year there's a book that you'll find me looking forward to more than any other. Tad Williams' 'Shadowrise' is that book, no question about it! Tad's latest fantasy series isn't quite up to the standards that he set with 'Memory, Sorrow & Thorn' (can you tell I'm a fan?) but it's still worth the read. Check out the blurb...

As shadows threaten to consume the kingdom of Southmarch, Barrick Eddon, heir to March throne, battles his way across the sinister Shadowlands. He must journey through this dangerous, inhuman realm to fulfil a pact ? as this may be all that can prevent the atrocities of a full-scale war with the Twilight people of Qul-na-Qar. Princess Briony, Barrick's twin sister, finds herself in no less danger at the court of Tessis in Syan. When those close to her fall dead from poisoning, she is to learn the true extent of the betrayal surrounding her. Her only option is to flee, as all those in Tessis turn against her ? all, that is, except for one important ally. Meanwhile, the assault upon Southmarch has truly begun. Yasammez, the formidable head of the Qar army, has ordered the attack, believing that the pact between humans and Qar has been broken. Unless Ferras Vansen, Captain of the Southmarch Royal Guard, can convince her otherwise, the humans are sure to meet the dark end that has been promised to them ...

Looks good doesn't it? Thanks to Orbit UK, I have three copies of 'Shadowrise' to give to three readers of this very blog. Having said that, those three readers will be from the UK as this competition is for UK readers only...

To enter, simply drop me an email (address at the top right hand side of the screen) telling me who you are and what your mailing address is. You also need to make it clear, in the header, that this is the competition you wish to enter.

I'll be letting this one run until the 21st of February and will announce the winners on the 22nd.

Good Luck!
