In Serpent and Storm by Marella Sands, enter the world of Sky Knife: A Mayan youth who was cursed with an unlucky name from birth. From a vision given to his mother, Sky Knife is pledged to honor whatever destiny the gods have decreed. Farmer, soldier, merchant--all these roads are closed to him. He isn't even worthy as a sacrifice to the gods. Sometimes, however, the gods have a very wicked sense of humor...and what some sages think of as the worst cosmic luck may in fact be the touch of the gods' own hands. From temple pariah to hero, Sky Knife discovers the magic within him and not only thwarts all the evil plots surrounding his king, but wins the hand of the beautiful and beloved Jade Flute in the process. Enemies vanquished and evil magic dispelled, life is good. And as Sky Knife prepares for the birth of a long-awaited child, it seems like the fates have given him all that he desires. But it appears the gods aren't quite done with Sky Knife just yet. He is to be sent to the distant city-kingdom of Teotihuacan, to bring greetings and to reopen diplomatic ties with these strange people. From missed meetings to strange guides, corrupt counselors to a bizarre court, Sky Knife feels his world shifting dangerously out of balance. And when the Teotihuacan king is killed and bad luck seems to descend upon his kingdom, it is left to Sky Knife to solve the riddle of his death. Or he will be slaughtered in the killer's stead.

When a young man dies under mysterious circumstances in a magnificent but shambling old castle, suspicion naturally devolves on a young couple whose attraction for each other appears to flout all decorum. But as the search for truth leads the criminally suspect protagonist to question the author, the boundaries of fiction and reality, of human society and personal identity, and of the nature and limits of sexuality and pleasure are blithely crossed and extended. The narrative displays a profoundly Indian sensibility while playfully exposing the various contradictions and tensions inherent in its various aspects. Thus, antique and modern, rational and supernatural, philosophical and farcial, erotic and exotic are here combined and sustained by the powerful central metaphor of the Serpent. This extraordinary novel achieves a rare blend of passion and intellect that defies literary categorisation, but relentlessly carries the reader on its own impetuous quest.

Wicked dreki princes, dragon-slayers, and their fated mates collide in this breathtaking box set! The old eddas speak of dreki—fabled creatures who haunt the depths of Iceland's volcanoes and steal away fair maidens. HEART OF FIRE Freyja wants none of such myths. Dreki seducing young ladies? Ha. They probably eat such foolish girls. But when the local dreki steals her last ram—costing her any chance of feeding her ill father through the winter—Freyja intends to confront the fearsome myth. STORM OF DESIRE Haakon wants none of such myths. For years he's searched for the beast that stole his wife, desperate to slay the golden dreki and rescue his precious Árja. He has sacrificed everything to find her—including his honor—but now Haakon knows the truth. His entire marriage was a lie. The woman he knew as his wife was no victim, but the drekiherself. And when he finally tracks down the deceitful princess, there will be a reckoning of passion and glory.... CLASH OF STORMS Malin wants none of such myths. As a half-blood dreki, she's beneath the notice of the arrogant warriors who rule the skies—except for Sirius Blackfrost, the most ruthless dreki within the court.
