  The latest fast moving, action fantasy from James Barclay throws the Raven against each other in a world that is literally falling apart. The natural heir to David Gemmell has created a stunning world and a band of heroes who are already earning cult status. Five years have passed since the Raven saved Balaia, sealing the dimensional rip to the dragon dimension. An uneasy peace reigns with the Wesmen tribes, Julatsa is struggling to recover, the other colleges are once again struggling for dominance. The Raven have gone their separate ways. But as Balaia pulls itself back together nature seems set to pull it apart. Freak storms and tidal waves are battering the continent. Something is disturbing the manna flows that hold the fabric of the world together. And the disturbance is centred on one person; Denser and Erienne's daughter; four years old and learning to control her massive innate powers under the guidance of a secretive sect. Must she be stopped? Or should she be helped? Something has to be done before Balaia is torn apart. The Raven are called together once again and face an agonising and heartbreaking mission. Can they kill a four year old girl? Can they afford not to? It is dilemma that will set friend against friend, father against mother, Raven against Raven. Can the Raven survive? Or will they tear themselves to pieces before they can save Balaia?

  Chronicles of the Raven: Three AN UNSTOPPABLE NEW POWER IS RISING ...The power of the land has manifested itself in Lyanna, a five year old girl. She has the power to sweep the four colleges of magic aside, or - unknowingly - to destroy Balaia. And the colleges will do anything to control her. If she cannot be controlled, she'll be killed ...but first they have to find her. Denser, one of The Raven, is desperate to find Lyanna and her mother too - not because Lyanna's powers are ripping the world apart, but because she's his daughter. But can even The Raven find Erienne and her child when they don't want to be found? And if they find her, with thousands of lives at stake, can The Raven afford to let her live?
