Description:
This set, titled Kuzgunun Gölgesi Serisi (Raven’s Shadow Series), was written by Anthony Ryan and published in Turkish by İthaki Yayınları in 2014. This lot includes all three books of the trilogy, presenting the complete epic fantasy narrative.
The series follows Vaelin Al Sorna, a young boy given to a religious military order known as the Sixth Order. Raised in a strict and brutal environment, Vaelin is trained as a warrior devoted to faith, discipline, and combat. As he grows, he becomes one of the most feared and respected fighters in the realm.
The story is structured through Vaelin’s recollections, revealing his rise from an orphaned child to a legendary figure. His journey is shaped by war, political intrigue, and hidden truths about the nature of his abilities—particularly a mysterious power often referred to as the “blood-song,” which grants him heightened awareness and instinct.
As the narrative expands, the series explores conflicts between kingdoms, religious authority, and competing ideologies. Vaelin is forced to confront not only external enemies but also the internal contradictions of the order that raised him.
Themes of faith, loyalty, destiny, identity, and the cost of war are central to the trilogy. The books combine intense battle sequences with character-driven storytelling and political complexity.
The trilogy consists of:
• Blood Song (Kan Şarkısı)
• Tower Lord (Kule Lordu)
• Queen of Fire (Ateş Kraliçesi)
As a complete series, Raven’s Shadow is known for its strong character focus, darker tone, and detailed depiction of military and religious structures within a fantasy setting.
For collectors, this 3-book Turkish first edition lot represents the complete and original publication of a modern epic fantasy trilogy. Its cohesive narrative and popularity make it a valuable addition to fantasy collections.
