The Sword Falls continues the
Form and Void series, but you can also read it as a standalone. The sweeping fantasy book brings in classic sword and sorcery elements. The world that began with
The Glass Breaks, which
Guardian describes as George R.R. Martin meets H.P. Lovecraft, expands here in
The Sword Falls. Prince Oliver Dawn Claw, the heir to the Kingdom of the Four Claws, faces a threat while away from home. And meanwhile Adeline Brand is crushing resistance and taking on bigger battles.
The Sword Falls has a lot of moving pieces, and we have an exclusive excerpt to share from the upcoming title.
