It’s also exciting to see the very nice quote from SF Site getting the front cover limelight.
.
“Helen Lowe’s Wall of Night series has the potential to become a classic right up there with the likes of George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.” ~ SF Site
.w00t! The other quotes used for the US cover include:
On the back:
A Gemmell Award-Winning Series
“A richly told tale of strange magic,
dark treachery, and conflicting loyalties,
set in a well-realized world.”
Robin Hobb, on The Heir of Night
And on the inside front:
“This is an author with
a gift for fantasy.”
Nebula Award-winning author
Catherine Asaro
Plus:
“[Lowe] reinvigorates
the epic fantasy
with appealing
characters and a
richly detailed world.”
Library Journal
So what's it all about? Here's the back cover text, to let you in — just a little! — on the unfolding story:
Malian of Night and Kalan, her trusted ally,
are returning to the Wall of Night—but already it may
be too late. The Wall is dangerously weakened,
the Nine Houses of the Derai fractured by rivalry
and hate. And now, the Darkswarm is rising . . .

are returning to the Wall of Night—but already it may

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.
