Winterbirth
Winterbirth | Brian Ruckley
4 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
An uneasy truce exists between the thanes of the True Bloods. Now, as another winter approaches, the armies of the Black Road march south, from their exile beyond the Vale of Stones. For some, war will bring a swift and violent death. Others will not hear the clash of swords or see the corpses strewn over the fields. Instead, they will see an opportunity to advance their own ambitions. But soon, all will fall under the shadow that is descending. For while the storm of battle rages, one man is following a path that will awaken a terrible power in him -- and his legacy will be written in blood.

At the beginning of the 2000s, when this book came out, l was working in Dublin (l got this edition from my favourite bookstore there), and Ruckley was one of the most interesting new fantasy authors of the time.
And now... he's disappeared. I have never heard of him again.

Anybody knows whether he's still writing?

What attracted me at first about Ruckley's characters is that all of them sound like #DangerousType Not very heroic, not very noble, in short very different from the classic fantasy heroes.

I haven't heard any news about Ruckley for a long time. Anybody knows whether he's working at new stories?

JazzFeathers @Cinfhen This trilogy sounds like a though one, but also quite realistic. Hope to be able to come to it soon 8y
