The Hyena and the Hawk

By: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrated by: Kyla Garcia

The unmaking of the world has begun. The Hyena and the Hawk is the conclusion to Adrian Tchaikovsky’s epic fantasy trilogy, Echoes of the Fall, following The Bear and the Serpent.

‘A classically brilliant fantasy writer’ – Paul Cornell, author of Witches of Lychford

From the depths of the darkest myths, the soulless Plague People have returned. Their pale-walled camps obliterate villages, just as the terror they bring with them destroys minds. In their wake, nothing is left of the true people: not their places, not their ways. The Plague People will remake the world as though they had never been.

The heroes and leaders of the true people – Maniye, Loud Thunder, Hesprec and Asman – will each fight the Plague People in their own ways. They will seek allies, gather armies and lead the charge. But a thousand swords or ten thousand spears will not suffice to turn back this enemy. The end is at hand for everything the true people know . . .

Complete the transporting, sweeping coming-of-age fantasy series that began with The Tiger and the Wolf.

Critic reviews

A classically brilliant fantasy writer, a pusher of boundaries, great storyteller (Paul Cornell, author of Witches of Lychford)

It's addictively brilliant! The protagonist is vivid and sympathetic – and I love both the story and the world Adrian has created (John Gwynne, author of Shadow of the Gods, on The Tiger and the Wolf)

Brilliantly conceived and executed . . . Readers will be captivated (Publishers Weekly on The Tiger and the Wolf)

Breathtaking scope and vision. Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of our finest writers (Gareth Powell, author of Embers of War, on Children of Ruin)

Inventive, funny and engrossing (Tade Thompson, author of Rosewater, on Shards of Earth)

amazing!

I couldn't have asked for a better ending to this incredible trilogy! wow, just wow! Perfect! I really was just so entertained and enthralled in it! Now my 2nd favorite author and a close 2nd at that. Out of childhood loyalty to Stephen King 1st place can't be usurped lol but very very close 2nd. The performance was phenomenal! Kyla Garcia is a gem, seriously. I hope to use her talent for my own book here in the future. Just amazing with a great ending that left enough questions for me to still long for the serpents wisdom but... these things are known

Epic trilogy that rivals Tolkien's LOTR

Epic trilogy that rivals Tolkien's LOTR.

Amazing read of a rich universe with beautifully painted characters. Includes a perfect amount of comedic relief, riveting tension, sadness/happiness, danger, excitement.

Will definitely be reading this series to my young children. I hope it becomes a childhood favorite for them.

Only criticism is that it is too short.
Adrian Tchaikovsky is now my 2nd favorite author next to Issac Asimov. He's THAT good. You should read all his books!

loved it

really really good series. thank you for this book, its damn good. two more words.

really good book

this book has many memorable characters and an all round childhood dream come to life

Good, not great

The biggest issue is the narrator, who's stilted performance made the writing feel blocky and unfinished. Compared to other works from the author, this series is a little more trite and the there was a major glut of restating the same concept or character backstreet over and over. It felt a little pandering as well. Rainbow girls and abused girls are the ones who have the secrets to save the world, and those who choose beauty and technology over primative values are soulless. Kind of strange. It was good. Just, not great.
