The Blood Debt
From the West Australian (thanks, Ian!):
“Sean Williams is something of a literary chameleon. He is able to write hard science fiction, space opera, cyberpunk and fantasy with equal facility.
“This book, the second Book of the Cataclysm and following on from The Crooked Letter, sees Sal and Shilly lured form their peaceful village by Sky Wardens to help track down the Homunculus, a creature from the void.
“They are promised immunity for their prior magical activities but the price may not be worth it.
“They have to find out the truth about the Void – but the risk is that this will threaten both their lives and their sanity.
“They also discover a connection to Highson Sparre, Sal’s absent father. Williams keeps getting better with each book – this is his best so far.”
