TorIt seems like it’s been awhile since we last had a book giveaway so we thought now would be a good time to do another.  But not just a regular book giveaway.  How about five copies of the first three books of Elspeth Cooper‘s Wild Hunt Quartet?  That’s right, all three books!

The folks at Tor are excited to be bringing out the third volume in the the Wild Hunt series, The Raven’s Shadow (on sale tomorrow!) and to celebrate they’ve asked us to help them give out five hardcover copies and, since it is the third book in the series, they decided to throw in the first 2 paperback books, Songs of the Earth and Trinity Rising, as well so you can get the whole story thus far!

Songs of the Earth Trinity Rising The Raven's Shadow

In case you’ve forgotten how to play this game, all you have to do is re-tweet this tweet:

The Raven's ShadowThe Raven’s Shadow
by Elspeth Cooper

The Raven’s Shadow, the third book of Elspeth Cooper’s The Wild Hunt series finds war brewing on both sides of the Veil between the worlds.

The desert of Gimrael is aflame with violence, and in the far north an ancient hatred is about to spill over into the renewal of a war that, a thousand years ago, forged an empire. This time, it may shatter one.

Wrestling with his failing grip on the power of the Song, and still trying to come to terms with the horrifying events he witnessed in El Maqqam, Gair returns to the mainland with only one thing on his mind: vengeance. It may cost him his life, but when everything that he had to live for is being stripped away from him, that may be a fair price to pay.

Old friends and old foes converge in a battle of wills to stem the tide of the Nimrothi clans as they charge south to reclaim the lands lost in the Founding Wars. If they succeed, the rest of the empire may be their next target. And with the Wild Hunt at their head, the overstretched Imperial Army may not be enough to stop them.


What people are saying:

“If you are not already familiar with her work, then I implore you to read one of her books, you will not be disappointed.” — Fantasy Book Review

“This isn’t a book that you can easily put down once you begin” — SF Book Reviews (of Songs of the Earth)

“The absorbing narrative and sheer quality of the production will keep readers impatiently awaiting the next installment”Kirkus Reviews

“In scope, this series has the potential to rival George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire and should enjoy a wide readership of young adult  as well as adult fans of epic fantasy”Library Journal (starred review)

Elspeth CooperAbout the Author:

Elspeth Cooper was born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England. A fantasy reader from an early age, she began writing her own stories when still a child and never quite grew out of it.

In 2009, ill-health forced her to give up a 21-year career in IT and now she writes full-time. Songs of the Earth, published in 2011 by Gollancz, was her first novel, and the first in The Wild Hunt Quartet.

A sword-owning, tea-drinking imagineer, she lives in Northumberland with her husband and two cats in a house full of books.

If you are not familiar with Elspeth Cooper you can read full chapter excerpts of all three books right here on WWEnd to get a taste.  Ms. Cooper is also a perfect fit for several of our Roll-Your-Own Reading Challenges like the 2014 Women of Genre Fiction and, because this is a three book giveaway, The Number of the Counting Shall be Three.

Our thanks to Tor for the excellent prizes and best of luck to everyone. Help us spread the word and be sure to come back next Monday to see if you’ve won!
