Bound in Blood

By: P. C. Hodgell

Narrated by: Jennifer O'Donnell

When Jame returned to Knorth hall to help her brother, Torisen, name all the fallen fighters' death banners stored there, she made the disturbing discovery that those banners splattered with their owners' blood also have trapped their owners' souls. She also found a contract proving her cousin Kindrie to be legitimate, proving that there are three full-blooded Knorth. Three full-blooded Knorth means that the Three-Faced God can be manifested - something that none of the three are likely to want to do, if they have any choice in the matter.

Returning with this unwelcome knowledge to school at Tentir, Jame continued to dodge the attentions of an unwanted admirer, strengthen her link to her feline hunting ounce, work with the rathorn colt Death's-head to insure that it doesn't resume its attempts to kill her, and, of course, kept causing plenty of unintended havoc. She also had to help fight off attacks from hillmen, repel a stampede of yarkcarn (think warthogs the size of mammoths), fight in the Winter War (a mock conflict - or, at least, that's how it was supposed to be), and solve the mystery behind the death of her evil uncle, who somehow is still spectrally manifesting himself in nasty ways. No doubt about it - Jame is back, and with a vengeance, as the popular and critically praised fantasy-adventure series continues.

This series is great

The Kencyrath series is definitely in my top fantasy books of all time. The world PC Hodgell creates is fascinating and I love following Jame through all her (mis)adventures.

The stakes are a little bit lower in Bound in Blood than others, but I quite enjoy diving deeper into the culture of the Tentir randon college and the Merikit hill tribe.

Hard to believe but the series is getting even better

All the books are real good but this may be the best since godstalk! Really enjoyed it.

Fantastic!

Loved it a lot! One of my favorite books comes to life in Jennifer O'Donnell's performance.

great book
