Synopsis

It is nine months after the end of the previous book. Many noble allies have come to the Ninefold Forest for a Feast in honour of General Rudolfo's first-born child. Jin Li Tam, his wife and mother of his heir, lies in childbed. As the feast begins, the doors of the hall fly open and invisible assassins begin attacking. All of Rudolpho's noble guests are slain, including Hanric, the Marsh Queen's Shadow. And on the Keeper's gate, which guards the named Lands from the Churning Waste, a strange figure appears, with a message for Petronus, the Hidden Pope. Thus begins the second movement of the Psalms of Isaak, Canticle .

Media Reviews
Praise for Canticle The Psalms of Isaak is a superb series. Scholes' has all the story elements of epic fantasy in place: memorable characters living in a vibrantly complex world of magic and ancient history, with plot twists and revelations sprung at just the right moments. More than that, his storytelling verve and craftsmanship makes his pages sing. He's written scenes of apocalypse and steaming metal men and invisible assassins that I won't be forgetting any time soon. Really good stuff. --David Anthony Durham, bestselling author of Acacia Not only is Scholes a capable world builder, he ably handles the tough task of keeping the series momentum going, intensifying the mystery so deftly that even if readers can't foresee where the story's going, it's clear that the author knows exactly what he's doing. -- Kirkus Reviews ( starred review) on Canticle Ken Scholes has already made the leap from good to great...if you thought Lamentation was impressive, then just wait until you get hold of Canticle . -- Fantasy Book Critic Scholes adds new layers of mystery and intrigue while fleshing out the compelling characters of one of speculative fiction's most spellbinding new sagas. -- Booklist on Canticle
