Destiny's Blood and Scimitar Sun Sunday, 22 August 2010 21:52 |  |  | 
 Tweet me!We've had a busy summer, and have been a bit behind with keeping content fresh on the website, but that doesn't mean we forgot! New this season, two great books: Destiny's Blood by Marie Bilodeau (with rockin' cover by Kari-Ann Anderson) Review
Marie Bilodeau knocks my socks off. She's got an amazing eye for detail and a sumptuous narrative voice. Destiny's Blood is a winner -- another home run from one of Canada's best new authors. --Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of WAKE
ABOUT THE BOOK
Layela Delamores wants nothing more than to settle into a quiet, peaceful life, running a small flower shop with her twin sister, Yoma. But Layela is tormented each night by terrifying visions that she cannot remember when she wakes. When Yoma vanishes, Layela is certain that her nightly visions hold the key - but only her sister's thieving friend, one of the last survivors of the ether races, can unlock them. Layela suspects that her friend isn't telling her the whole truth, instead sheltering her from her own visions.
Ripped from the safety of her flower shop into a universe of smugglers and assassins, Layela must pursue her sister across space in a desperate bid to overcome the destiny of destruction foretold in her dreams. But without full knowledge of her visions, Layela has no way to prevent them from coming to pass. And the fate of a whole world is on the line: the mythical First Star is on a path to self-destruction and the annihilation of all life. Unless Layela finds a way to stop it. But to stop it would mean sacrificing her sister. Or herself.
Scimitar Sun, the sequel to the award-winning Scimitar Moon, by Chris A. Jackson has just released. The launch party will be held at Dragon*Con at the beginning of September! Be sure not to miss it.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Shattered Isles are at peace. Or so it seems. The vile pirate lord, Bloodwind, has been vanquished, and Cynthia Flaxal has everything she always dreamed of: the mystical powers of a seamage, a successful shipyard, the love of a great man, and a child on the way. But trouble roils both above and below the waves. A school of vengeful merfolk harbors a secret and terrible agenda. An empire perceives Cynthia's growing fleet as a threat. A small band of surviving pirates hatches a devious plot to regain supremacy in the Shattered Isles. A favor to an old friend leaves Cynthia with a powerful but undisciplined young pyromage on her hands. And as all these forces converge, the Seamage of the Shattered Isles finds herself and her unborn child caught right in the middle.
REVIEW
"SCIMITAR SUN is a great book. Pirates, a seamage, an empire reaching out for both - - and a fascinating race of mer-folk brought vividly to life. This isn't the castle-crowded, dragon-haunted fantasy so many spin tales of; this is refreshingly different. A sparkling tale full of engaging characters you'll want to see again. More, please!" ~Ed Greenwood,bestselling author of ELMINSTER MUST DIE!

Murder at Avedon Hill P.G. Holyfield Welcome to the land of Caern, where the gods — the Children of Az —can choose to be born into the world as mortals to directly affect events... and often do. And where the conflict between religious faith and arcane magic has reached a breaking point. Gretta Platt, Housemistress of Avedon Manor, has been murdered. Only a handful of people live in Avedon Hill, and most are suspects. Arames Kragen, retired Aarronic Advisor and scholar of prophecy, must gain access to Avedon Hill’s mountain pass. But Lord Avedon is not in a giving mood... To earn his passage, Arames Kragen must discover who killed Gretta Platt. He must also uncover the truth about a town that seems to have more secrets than inhabitants. Available as a print book ($19.95) or ebook ($2.99). Print Book: $19.95 + shipping:

But that changes when temporal experiments from the future go wrong and an innocent bystander, Catriona Logan, is suddenly thrust into a future where the Earth is a wasteland. In the future, humanity fights for the alien Leontors in a war against the reptoid Komodoans, in return for technology to re-terraform Earth. The war is at a stalemate. Catriona’s unique 21st century brainwave patterns will ensure a victory to whoever can scan her first, and she becomes a pawn between the alien races. Captured, Catriona must unravel the threads of deceit and find a mysterious and compelling ally in a world where her rules no longer apply. Time is fractured and only Catriona can put it right, but at what cost? "TIME TWIST is a rousing science fiction tale with a plucky heroine, scheming aliens, and interspecies romance. What’s not to love?" —Jana Oliver, author of the Time Rovers Series Last Updated (Tuesday, 27 October 2009 20:13) |
