The Pariah The Pariah

Publisher Description

"A gritty, heart-pounding tale of betrayal and bloody vengeance. I loved every single word." —John Gwynne

The Pariah begins a new epic fantasy series of action, intrigue and magic from Anthony Ryan, a master storyteller who has taken the fantasy world by storm.


Born into the troubled kingdom of Albermaine, Alwyn Scribe is raised as an outlaw. Quick of wit and deft with a blade, Alwyn is content with the freedom of the woods and the comradeship of his fellow thieves. But an act of betrayal sets him on a new path - one of blood and vengeance, which eventually leads him to a soldier's life in the king's army.
 
Fighting under the command of Lady Evadine Courlain, a noblewoman beset by visions of a demonic apocalypse, Alwyn must survive war and the deadly intrigues of the nobility if he hopes to claim his vengeance. But as dark forces, both human and arcane, gather to oppose Evadine's rise, Alwyn faces a choice: can he be a warrior, or will he always be an outlaw?

"This makes a rich treat for George R.R. Martin fans." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Really exceptional

This story digs into you, and you won’t want to put it down. I will reread this series, I’m sure of it. Probably several times. Has much of the appeal of RR Martin without the endless - literally- books. Ryan keeps his narrative right and focused, and weaves new and.old characters into a beautiful pattern which suggests the vastness of the scope of destiny, without dragging in every character anyone has met for a minor soliloquy and pov chapters like some epic fantasy. Wonderful.
