Raif, Ash and Angus escape the city, chased by Marafice Eye, Iss’s repugnant Protector General of the Rive Watch, and at Ille Glaive meet crippled sorcerer Heritas Cant. There he meets runaway Asarhia March (Ash), a young step-daughter of Penthero Iss, a sorcerer and Surlord (overlord) of the city. Raif finds the new leader, violent, unpleasant and vindictive and also suspects Mace to be the cause for the slaughter, wanting to lead the clan into a takeover of the other clan groups.Īfter women and children of the Bludd clan are massacred in a revenge ambush, Raif runs away from the tribe with his uncle, Angus Lok, and he ends up in Spire Vanis, one of the southern cities. Raif and his brother Drey return to the remainder of the clan, to find that the dead clanleader’s foster child, Mace Blackhail, has not only taken over as tribe leader but also has stirred the tribe into war with the neighbouring Bludd clan, blamed for the massacre. Raif Sevrance is a young clansman with a secret magic power (the ability to guide, with his mind, arrows to the heart of a living thing) whose father and clan group are mysteriously murdered whilst they are on a hunting trip. JV Jones’s series (now up to Book Four, Watcher of the Dead, with Book Five currently being written*) is initially set in a sub-Arctic-type world, with a culture and a subsistence lifestyle which made me think a la Inuit. Thought it was time I read a series that’s been staring at me for over a decade. The review first appeared in October 2011. Occasionally we resurrect old reviews to show what we thought of a now-regarded-as-classic book.
