The Lord Collector

A Raven's Shadow Novella, Book 1.5

By: Anthony Ryan

Narrated by: Steven Brand

Author's note: The following story takes place in the same world as my novel Blood Song, the first volume in the Raven's Shadow trilogy. I wrote it because I wanted to more fully explore characters who appear in Blood Song and the sequels Tower Lord and Queen of Fire. Readers familiar with my work are sure to recognize a certain pale-eyed, raspy-voiced Sword Master of the Sixth Order, and those curious as to the origins of the Tower Lord of the Southern Shore will find answers here. The tale takes place at the midpoint of the timeline described in Blood Song, a time when King Janus, with typical ruthlessness, is in the process of further consolidating his grip on the Unified Realm.

Great work with this addition to the trilogy

Leaves you wanting more but great work and would recommend to anyone I know thanks

Well done

Quick listen that is well written. Ties in neatly with the trilogy. I would recommend it.

Good short story

It takes a few minutes to get up to speed but once you do it is a good short story. The main character is well developed while filling in some gaps found in the Blood Song through a secondary character and corresponding events.

Interesting Novella

Interesting story. I wish there was more. Makes me long for more books of this series.

Optional?

Great sidebar if you're familiar with Blood Song. Not sure how it does as a stand alone story.
