THE WAR IS NOT YET LOST . . . Every year the winters worsen, and the realm's protective magic disappeared with the traitor-king, Lyf, two thousand years ago. Now Lyf is back, bent on wiping the country of Hightspall off the map and rebuilding his ancient land anew. A slave orphaned by Lyf, Tali holds the key to saving the realm - or destroying it. Can she stop him before he tears Hightspall apart, and plunges the world into perpetual darkness? Rebellion is the breathtaking sequel to Ian Irvine's fantasy epic Vengeance. PRAISE FOR IAN IRVINE: 'The complex cultures, detailed geography, and the palpable weight of history provide a solid background to an intense story . . . some truly original touches.' LOCUS 'Epic, non-stop action adventure.' STARBURST 'A page-turner of the highest order . . . Formidable.' SFX 'Great action set pieces . . . This is the sort of book you'd pick up if you were prepared to be late for your next appointment' THE BOOKBAG on this series
