The ancients call all debts due. Evanne won't settle a tab with those long dead. Evanne, a half-Vhemin bard with a gods-promised destiny as complex as her heritage, faces her greatest challenge yet. Known for her enchanting melodies and courageous heart, she's a firebrand of hope in dark times. But darkness has a name: Wild Sur, the enigmatic master of the Vide, an unstoppable order of assassins with a perfect record of death. This time, their target is Evanne. Armed with ancient secrets and commanding a Vhemin fortress with a portal to the demon realm, Wild Sur's ambition is nothing less than apocalyptic. Evanne isn't alone in this perilous quest. Myryntir, a resurrected wild blue dragon, soars by her side, along with Tarragon, her heart's love and a formidable swordswoman. And in the shadows, the newly empowered Raven Queen weaves her own brand of magic. But hope wanes. The demons are endless in number. The key to their salvation might rest with the lost warrior, Geneve, Saviour of Ravenswall, rumoured to be trapped beyond the demonic portal. Evanne's ancient armour might shield her body, but can it protect her from the despair of an impossible mission: to save one lost for all time? As Evanne and her allies prepare to face an entire city built for destruction and the demon and human army it protects, they must unravel the fortress's secrets and stop Wild Sur. Failure isn't just personal; it's the end of everything they know and love. This isn't just a battle-it's the final stand against the tide of darkness, where the melody of a bard might be the last sound in a world on the edge of oblivion.
The dead have no words for the living. Except for Evanne. Evanne is a half-Vhemin bard with a tune for trouble and a heart for heroism. Gifted an ancient suit of armour by a spectral warrior, she's convinced it's the key to restoring justice in a land teetering on the edge of chaos. The armour isn't just any relic. It's a whisper from before the world fell, calling her and her eclectic band across the blasted plaguelands. There awaits the mythical fairy sky city. Their mission? Fix the armour, and the balance shifts in their favour. The catch? It involves slaying a vampire older than history. The creature has outlasted empires and scoffed at time. There's a shadow over Evanne's heart. She fears the necromancer's path - a road paved with the souls of the unrestful dead. Her journey is haunted by fear of becoming what she most despises. Even her closest ally, the warrior fairy Tarragon, fears for Evanne's soul. No safe harbours. No grand armies. Just a guitar that speaks to both the living and the dead. If Evanne can't tune into the melody of courage and unravel the secrets of the sky city, the land might sing its final lament. The stakes? Higher than the sky city itself. If they fail, the fairy city remains a dream, and the land falls deeper into despair. Will Evanne strike the right chord, or will the land splinter into eternal dissonance?
The ancients don't want to stay dead. Evanne will make them. Evanne's a half-Vhemin bard with melodies flowing in her veins. Chaos falls on her home of Imshir when the ancient mountain fortress Heaven's Gate erupts, reawakened by a cult set on destroying all Evanne knows and loves. In the charred shadow of the mountain's wrath, she learns her parents are dead. Her allies turn against her. Shadowy foes from a far off land ruled by the Raven Queen hunt her. The only person more lost than her is Tarragon, a fairy warrior set on killing all Vhemin in the name of justice. Evanne's after justice of her own. The true culprit behind Heaven's Gate's devastation must be stopped, or more lands will fall to ruin. Trust is a luxury she can't afford, especially with Tarragon, whose past is as mysterious as the fairy herself. Haunted by the blame of Imshir's survivors and the looming threat of the Raven Queen's foes, Evanne's path is fraught with danger. Failure means not only her demise but the potential downfall of two realms. Allies are as uncertain as the shifting winds. Evanne's only certainty is her resolve. Will her journey lead to redemption, or will it end as a mere whisper in the saga of a splintered land?
Swallows and Hawke is a captivating account of 80 years of compelling cricket. From South Africa's stunning first ever Test win by one wicket in 1907 to Syd Barnes and Herby Taylor locked in iconic combat in 1914, to Cliff Gladwin's scrambled last-ball victory in 1949, all the standout moments are here. On the pitch, the cricketers faced extreme heat and dust, unplayable wickets and a wily and resilient opposition. Off the pitch they inspected mining compounds, were terrified by Zulu dancers and found themselves in jail or chased by rhinos. Over 15 tours the emissaries of Empire bestrode the pavilions of power with mine-owners and politicians, from Kruger to Verwoerd. They turned a blind eye to oppression and resistance and colluded with a new national mythology of white supremacy featuring ox-wagons and Blood River. The cricketing dramas take place within the perennial African struggles over land, labour and freedom as the cricketing relationship between MCC and South Africa forges the bonds of Empire.
