Book Three in this gripping fantasy trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky, Clarke-Award-winning author of Children of Time and the Shadows of the Apt series.
The Hyena and the Hawk is the third book in Adrian Tchaikovsky´s epic fantasy trilogy, Echoes of the Fall, following The Bear and the Serpent.
From the depths of the darkest myths, the soulless Plague People have returned. Their pale-walled camps obliterate villages, just as the terror they bring with them destroys minds. In their wake, nothing is left of the true people: not their places, not their ways. The Plague People will remake the world as though they had never been.
The heroes and leaders of the true people - Maniye, Loud Thunder, Hesprec and Asman - will each fight the Plague People in their own ways. They will seek allies, gather armies and lead the charge. But a thousand swords or ten thousand spears will not suffice to turn back this enemy. The end is at hand for everything the true people know.
It´s addictively brilliant! The protagonist is vivid and sympathetic - and I love both the story and the world Adrian has created. It´s meticulously thought out and utterly believable John Gwynne on The Tiger and the Wolf
