Book description:

THE SORROW SEA—THE MOST FEARED REGION IN ALL THE FIVE SEAS—PLAGUED BY STORMS, PROWLED BY A MURDEROUS PIRATE KING, AND HOME TO INHUMAN TERRORS.

Continuing their quest for the Seven Swords, legendary warrior Guyime and his companions must brave these perilous tides to find the mythic Spectral Isle, where once a demon named Lakorath was captured by a sorcerer of great power. Here ancient plans will be unveiled and the secret purpose of the seven demon cursed blades may finally be revealed…

Continuing the saga of The Seven Swords, Across the Sorrow Sea is a fast-moving tale of seafaring adventure and dramatic revelations from the New York Times bestselling author of the Raven’s Shadow and the Covenant of Steel trilogies.

From Publishers Weekly:

“Ryan remains adept at balancing action, thoughtful characterization, and spooky atmospherics, bringing the Sorrow Sea’s perils to life. Series fans and new readers alike will be sucked in.”


In other news, I now have bookplates for Red River Seven, signed in my very own blood (red Poska Pen, actually). I’ll be running a mailing list giveaway for these, and some signed paperbacks, closer to the release date of October 10th. Sign up to the list to make sure you don’t miss out.
