Synopsis

Sword, axe, and flame sweep the west. They threaten to drag much of the world into the maelstrom. Irina Ivanovna, Great Mother of Periaslavl, knows war would destroy much of her land. Even though magic has kept her body young, she is too tired to lead her people through the upcoming storm so she steps down in favor of her heir, as tradition dictates. She heads toward the fray and discovers an ancient foe orchestrates the storm. Now, he stalks her, knowing her magic is the key. She must elude his hunters so she can discover what is truly threatening not just Periaslavl, but all of Shijuren. And she must do so before the lightning strikes.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Rob is a reformed medieval academic who draws upon those skills and resources for his stories and settings. He has also been an IT professional, a cook, and a soda jerk. Originally from Houston, Texas, he dutifully followed his parents as they went from there to Hillsboro, Texas, then to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and finally to Wichita, Kansas. Along the way, they discovered about the only way to keep Rob quiet was to give him a book. Unfortunately for them, it turned out he could read very quickly, so they had to give him lots of books. He latched onto the Hardy Boys series first, then about anything else he could reach. Without books, either he or his parents probably would not have survived. Possibly both. Rob has traveled extensively. Most recently, in 2012, he walked the majority of the Offa's Dyke Trail along the border of Wales and England. Many experiences on the trail shaped his writing. One might say the Offa's Dyke Trail led to Edward. He decided to write professionally when he discovered he was too educated for most jobs, and not quite educated enough for a few. Fortunately, he had always written and had always wanted to emulate Forester, Tolkien, Weber, Drake, Parker, Chandler, and Francis. Now he can.
