Book Three in stunning Scandinavia-inspired fantasy trilogy The Ashen Torment.

'Witchsign triggered that 'I can't wait to get back to it' feeling in me' - Robin Hobb

The sky is filled with dragons: the people are ready to burn the regime to the ground. The seas churn with monsters and the tide is changing: revolution is coming.

Steiner has at last realised the part he will play in this fight.

Kimi knows now what it is to lead, but must learn to overcome differences if she is to unite and defeat the dragon factions.

Silverdust inches towards a final revenge.

Across the ocean, Kjellrun feels the call of war. But she must reconcile her new responsibilities to the people of the temple with the urge to find her family.

Leaders, all - and all are desperate. For the Emperor will not give up easily. He will rule - and he cares not if his subjects are alive... or if they are dead.

Worlds and outlooks collide, wars begin and lives will end in this spectacular finale by a new master in the fantasy genre. The stakes have never been higher in the roaring conclusion to the beloved Ashen Torment series.

Reviews

'WITCHSIGN is crammed with delicious mythology and populated with irresistible characters - a treat for anyone who loves fresh, modern fantasy'
JEN WILLIAMS, author of The Copper Cat and The Winnowing Flame trilogies

'Witchsign triggered that 'I can't wait to get back to it' feeling in me. The current of the story caught me right away and I was swept along with the characters. Den Patrick hit the perfect mix of immediate action and characters I cared about. His prose wastes no words. (I loved the concept of the cinderwraiths!)'
ROBIN HOBB
