Publisher Description

Come back to the Named Lands in this compelling sequel to Ken Scholes amazing novel Lamentation.

It is nine months after the end of the previous book. Many noble allies have come to the Ninefold Forest for a Feast in honor of General Rudolfo's first-born child. Jin Li Tam, his wife and mother of his heir, lies in childbed.

As the feast begins, the doors of the hall fly open and invisible assassins begin attacking. All of Rudolfo's noble guests are slain, including Hanric, the Marsh Queen's Shadow. And on the Keeper's Gate, which guards the Named Lands from the Churning Waste, a strange figure appears, with a message for Petronus, the Hidden Pope.

Thus begins the second movement of The Psalms of Isaak, Canticle.

“(11/3/09) Scholes has created a fascinating world I want to keep reading about. Canticle is a great blend of mystery, sci fi, and fantasy. It's a great story and I can't wait to read the next 3 books. UPDATE (2/2/11): If I could give this book 4.5 stars I would. It's an improvement over the first book, which is saying something because Lamentation is quite good. Having now read The Weeping Czar a couple times and Antiphon once, there is much that was clear on this reading that was unclear on the first. I thought the first mention of Frederico came in book 3, but he's mentioned here in the Postlude. Cool stuff. I'm really enjoying the depth to the world Scholes has created and the characters are very engaging and interesting. Scholes has done an especially good job with believable character change, particularly in Neb and Vlad.”
