The Song of the Silvercades

With its sweeping storyline and strong characters, The Song of the Silvercades has the pace and feel of the very best epic fantasy. Beautifully written, it's a brilliant follow-up to the critically acclaimed, The Whisper of Leaves, as it follows its heroine, Kira, on her nail-biting quest to save her people.;

Deep in the southern forests, the Tremen are being viciously attacked by their neighbours, the Shargh. As the death toll mounts, gold-eyed Kira, the Tremen's most gifted Healer, flees north to seek help from their long-lost warrior kin, the Terak.

Even as her perilous journey has barely begun, Kira is forced to compromise her beliefs to rescue Caledon, a man driven by his faith in divine order and star patterns. In turn, his knowledge allows her to survive the perils of crossing the treacherous Azurcades. Kira soon realises that he sees her as part of a celestial plan, and begins to mistrust his intentions.

But not even Caledon can foresee what will happen when she meets the one man with the power to destroy all she has striven for. As the Shargh's most ancient prophecy comes to life, 'gold meets gold', and Kira - and the Tremen - will never be the same again.

With its sweeping storyline and passionate heroine, The Song of the Silvercades is a brilliant follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Whisper of Leaves.
