Noonshade by James Barclay

Description: The enthralling sequel to Dawnthief takes the adventure into a new dimension.

Denser has cast the apocalyptic spell Dawnthief, the Wytch Lords are banished and Balaia can turn to defeating the teeming hordes of Wesmen.

But something has gone horribly wrong. The spell has created a rip between dimensions, a dirty rolling patch of nothingness in the blue sky. It casts a shadow at noon. And day by day the shadow is growing.

As the Wesmen storm through Balaia, The Raven must answer a bizarre call from the awesome dragon Sha-Kaan. The brood Kaan are fighting a losing battle against the other broods of the dragon dimension to prevent them pouring through the ever-widening dimensional rip to lay waste to Balaia.

And somehow The Raven must help them.

James Barclay has created a fantasy epic of rare intensity and blistering pace, people by characters you can believe in.
