"Returning fans...will delight in Lowe's intricate world-building and keen eye for politicking. The introduction of new characters and prophecies adds some depth of intrigue to Lowe's impressive epic." — Publishers Weekly
"Helen Lowe's Wall of Night series has the potential to become a classic, right up there with the likes of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire...Anyone who loves to read fantastic fiction from a true talent should read this series." — SF Site
"Helen Lowe writes wonderful stories, yes, but her work also speaks with lyricism to deeper questions of how we treat each other. With lovely prose that brings vivid life to her characters, she creates a universe with people we care about. This is an author with a gift for fantasy." — Nebula Award-winning author Catherine Asaro
"Sprawling, vividly detailed and consistently intriguing...A heady, imaginative tale full of Lowe's haunting prose and bold characters that builds to a startling climax that will leave readers anxious for more." — Romantic Times BOOKclub
"Helen Lowe is undoubtedly one of the best authors of epic fantasy ever to emerge...DAUGHTER OF BLOOD may well be the best and most complex epic fantasy novel of the year." — risingshadow.net

Lowe’s tangled third Wall of Night epic fantasy installment (after The Gathering of the Lost) picks up the story just as darkness begins to overtake its heroes. Malian of Night and Kalan continue their quest to save the Derai Alliance from their ancient enemies, the Darksworn, but devastating revelations await them regarding the true history of their faction. Meanwhile, a young girl is thrust into a political marriage that will alter the course of the Derai, and the Sworn obtain an unlikely asset in the form of a street urchin. New readers hoping for an accessible introduction to Lowe’s work may be disappointed; there’s no entry point to the plot (despite a 19-page glossary), there aren’t enough concrete descriptions of the magical and scientific systems underlying the world, and anyone who lacks a complete grasp of Lowe’s labyrinthine plots will be lost. Returning fans will find that the dense, unforgiving prose is nonetheless cleverly constructed and will delight in Lowe’s intricate worldbuilding and keen eye for politicking. The introduction of new characters and prophecies adds some depth of intrigue to Lowe’s impressive epic.
