Shadow Roads, The Swans' War Series

Soldiers, sorcerers and feuding families enter the climactic final phase of a brutal civil war in the third novel of this epic fantasy trilogy.

Two mighty families have been locked in savage combat, ravaging the kingdom both wish to rule. The chaos and bloodshed have spawned treachery within the ranks of both the Renné and the Wills, drawing the brave, the innocent, and the malevolent alike into the bloody conflict. But a far more terrible consequence has arisen from the carnage—for Death himself has been roused from his dread domain . . . and is preparing to walk the world again.
