All this and more happens in David Hair’s debut, Mage’s Blood the first book in the Moontide Quartet. "I love a story that takes the reader onto a journey not only of a new world but one that feels rounded through the use of politics, double dealing, vengeance and a quest that leads changes that will echo throughout the annals of time. The British Fantasy Society, Reviewed by Elloise Hopkins If you like your fantasy with a vast cast and a varied and intricate landscape then this is definitely for you." "This is one of those books that is so epic, that gets you so involved and is such an investment in time and emotion, that there is a little sting of regret that the ending had to come at all and you immediately want to go back to the beginning and see how much riper it is second time around. Mage's Blood available through available through Amazon UK and Amazon US Releasing in UK, New Zealand and Australia in October, in both print and electronic formats. The Moontide is coming, to sweep away all in its path. Where East and West are divided by colour, creed, language and the sea, but drawn to each other irrevocably in a dance of life and death. Where windships ply the skies and magi with god-gifted powers rule the earth. Their choices and their courage are about to change the world.Ĭome to Urte, where the moon covers half the sky and the tides render the seas impassable. But three lowly pawns, barely regarded, threaten the game: A failed mage, a jaded mercenary and a lowly market-girl are about to be catapulted into the maelstrom. The board is set and the pieces are moving. Now the Moontide has come again, the Bridge is rising from beneath the waves, and the Third Crusade is poised for release.
In successive crusades the Imperial legions and their mighty battle-mages plundered the East unopposed.
But when the Rondian Emperor turned his avaricious eyes toward it, peace became war. For years the Leviathan Bridge was a boon for prosperity and culture.
