The enthralling sequel to DAWNTHIEF takes the adventure into a new dimension. The Raven must fight to help the dragons of the Brood Kan defend the dimensional rip opened in the skies of Balaia by the casting of Dawnthief. And then they must somehow close the rip. And all the time the Wesmen are rampaging through Balaia, laying waste to its cities and besieging the mages of Julatsa in Dordova.

Review
"Multiple plots are detailed and woven together in an incredible fashion. The story yanked us along and we loved every minute of it--all the way up to, and including, the satisfying conclusion. At this time we would like to remind you all that this is, in fact, the second book of a trilogy. So let us repeat this. There is a satisfying conclusion. Let there be much rejoicing in the land!...In Noonshade, we are given everything that made Dawnthief incredible, with added layers of detail of the world and its characters. We are positively thrilled that we finally have these novels here in the US! Seriously, if Barclay's next novels continue to be this enjoyable, we may have found the guy that tops our Heroic Fantasy list of favorite authors. Noonshade bears a cover-quote from the late and great David Gemmell. It is one of the few novels that actually deserves those words of praise from the Legend." -- Elitist Book Review, November 6, 2009

With Noonshade, Barclay continues the developments in Dawnthief, and gives further insight to the world and history of Balaia, and other dimensions which interact with it. Noonshade is as action packed as Dawnthief, yet Barclay shows an even better skill at clearly and concicely outlining character thoughts and feelings. He also masterfully brings together all the subplots of the novel for another strong finish leaving the reader wanting more of The Raven.
I just started Nightchild after finishing Noonshade, and Barclay seems to have improved yet more, which didn't seem possible after reading Noonshade. All in all, this is a great fantasy series, and there is another series about The Raven, The Legend Of The Raven, with two books published so far. I look forward to reading them all, and reading any book by Barclay.

THE RAVEN gets more interesting and enjoyable
The results of the events that helped to close the previous volume in the Chronicles of the Raven are the impetus for the story in Noonshade. Read more
