Cuckoo (Under the Northern Sky, Book 3)

The thrilling and savagely visceral epic fantasy finale of the Under the Northern Sky trilogy from Leo Carew, an author who "will remind readers of George R. R. Martin, David Gemmell, or . . . Joe Abercrombie" (Booklist), sees two fierce armies collide as Albion continues to be divided by revolt and bloodshed. Driven obsessively for glory, the upstart Bellamus and his exiled queen Aramilla are marshalling resistance and building a powerful army, while Keturah, returning to the Hindrunn, is forced to fend for herself, battling enemies on all sides just when she is most in need of a place of safety. Meanwhile, the young Black Lord must deal not only with the aftermath of a great betrayal, but the cold shadow of the Kryptea, threatening to destroy everything he has fought for.

As alliances collapse and are made anew, the action-packed and blood-splatted tour de force showcases Carew as "the real deal" (Kirkus on The Wolf). Readers can also check out Carew's other works in the Under the Northern Sky series: The Wolf, The Spider, and The Cuckoo.
