Advance Praise for From Darkness Won
“A satisfying end to a ground-breaking trilogy. Can’t wait to see what Jill Williamson comes up with next!”
Kathy Tyers, author of The Annotated Firebird
“From Darkness Won had me up until 3:00 a.m. reading. It bonds to your hands the moment you pick it up, refusing to be put down until the last page falls.”
Christian Miles, author of The Scarlet Key
“From Darkness Won is filled with action, romance, adventure and mystery. The storyline races forward, launching the reader through battle, loss, and victory. Just when the reader thinks all is known, Williamson twists the tale with one or two or five more surprises.”
Amy Meyer
“My life wouldn’t be the same without By Darkness Hid, To Darkness Fled, and last but not least, From Darkness Won. Jill Williamson held me a captive audience from first to last.”
Adele Hajicek, writing as Adele Treskillard, 19
“Aside from finding a wife of my own and following God, I can say that one thing I would love to see/help with is making the Blood of Kings series into movies. From Darkness Won is the riveting conclusion to a series of epic proportions.”
Leighton, 16
Praise for To Darkness Fled
“Williamson pens an action-packed, imaginative second installment in the Blood of Kings trilogy. All the familiar epic elements and emotions are freshly rendered, with Vrell and Achan especially memorable as they grow during their journey. The pace gallops along, leaving readers hungry for the concluding book.”
Publisher’s Weekly
Praise for By Darkness Hid
“This thoroughly entertaining and smart tale will appeal to fans of Donita K. Paul and J.R.R. Tolkien. Highly recommended for CF and fantasy collections.”
Library Journal
“Kings, politics, orphans (called strays), knights, squires, bloodvoicing (mind reading), darkness, and light. This book is packed full of everything you could possibly ask for.”
USA Today Faith & Reason Book Club Blog
“Wonderfully written with a superb plot, this book is a surefire hit with almost any reader. An adventure tale with a touch of romance and enough intrigue to keep the pages turning practically by themselves.”
Voice of Youth Advocates
“It is rare to come across a book in the fantasy genre that has such an organic feel… Once in a while there comes along an author who takes classic fantasy plot contrivances and breathes new life into them.”
Church Libraries
“By Darkness Hid is the kind of fantasy that should be on Christian bookstore shelves everywhere. Fascinating and complete. If you like fantasy novels at all, you owe it to yourself to get hold of this one. I can’t wait to explore it further. Highly recommended.”
Christian Fiction Review
“I love a good fantasy, and By Darkness
