<p class="MsoHeader">Blood Seek<br /> Toni V. Sweeney<br /> Double Dragon Publishing<br /> ISBN: 978-1-55404-453-5<br /> Fiction, Fantasy<br /> Reviewed by <a href="http://www.eugenbacon.com/">Eugen M. Bacon</a><br /> http://tcm-ca.com/reviews/1892.html</p> <p style="margin-right:36pt;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-left:36pt;"><br /><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:36pt;margin-left:36pt;">&quot;When the red raw mists cleared, he was alone. That was how the Mortuaries found him – face down in the bloody slush where the heat from his body had melted the snow… the black war-horse standing guard above him…&quot;<br /><br /> This opener more than snapshots the enchantment of <em>The Chronicles of Riven the Heretic: Blood Seek</em>; a novel utterly impossible to turn aside. From arresting cover graphics to Toni V. Sweeney’s impeccable approach, her marvel of beautiful linguistics, brisk humour before a grim mood unearths the ineffable, fate is sealed by the skill of a Weaver, the position of a loom. Magic ever present, insight as staggering as the writing is ardent, this chronicle swiftly journeys tarnished innocence, explosive pairing, love gained… and lost… in the story of Riven Kan Ingan, a traveler, a young disbeliever, and the mysterious slave, Bar-Bara. Characters are well defined, intriguing, as they are charming or odious. As a clandestine Weaver of Lives bends over her loom, Toni V. Sweeney carves yet another sensation. </p>
