Two years have passed since Csorwe defied her mentor and stole a precious artefact. But the powerful wizard isn’t done with her yet – even as an ancient and deadly enemy threatens to reawaken. This is the extraordinary sequel to The Unspoken Name.A fun, fresh new take on the traditional fantasy quest and an adventure I couldn't put down!
An astounding debut, written with skill and stunning assurance . . . From its flawless first page to its bittersweet last, The Unspoken Name is unlike anything I’ve read before
The Unspoken Name is the best kind of modern fantasy – it feels totally fresh, it's full of satisfyingly weird gods and frightening magic; plus it's stuffed with the sort of characters you'll either want to be friends with or run screaming from. I loved this book!
What a glorious book!
Richly detailed, enthralling, and extraordinary, with brilliant nods to such luminaries as Ursula K. Le Guin and Diana Wynne Jones . . .
Fabulous, in every meaning of the word
A.K. Larkwood’s
The Unspoken Name is an epic fantasy in the vein of Le Guin’s magnificent
Tombs of Atuan – if Arha the Eaten One got to grow up to be a swordswoman mercenary . . . The action is
fast-paced and emotionally compelling; the magic is
dangerous, beautiful and utterly compromising. I love this book so much
