Salvation does not come without sacrifice. Rise. Otylia will never forget the betrayer’s blade slicing across her throat. Nor will she forgive. Trapped by Weles in the underworld of Nawia, she is further from Wacław and Dziewanna than ever. The Trials of Ascension are Otylia’s only hope to escape her father’s grasp, but is she ready to pay the price of immortality? Fall. Wacław would do anything to get Otylia back. But no demon has ever entered Nawia’s paradise. Marching west with the nomadic clans, Wacław senses the darkness inside him growing with his power. As Marzanna threatens his hopes of saving both Otylia and his tribe, will he surrender to the demon’s call or resist as the world he knows burns before him? Immerse yourself in Slavic mythological realms both new and old as The Frostmarked Chronicles continue in the dramatic sequel to A Dagger in the Winds.

Book Description

Preoccupied with the events of the past nine dia, Moriah was oblivious to the scrutiny she was receiving. She leaned her head wearily against the high back of her seat. Her face and its worried expression were mirrored in the reflection of the small window. It was too much, happening too fast. Her mind's energies were in need of rest and quiet. Behind the calm expression she wore, they searched for a dark place to hide and curl their tendrils out of sight. For the minut space of two minutes, she closed her eyes and allowed her mind the much need rest. A sudden change in the shuttle's vibrations alerted her to a change in speed, and her eyes opened.....Tragon leaned forward and strated to pop the lock on the belting that held her to the seat, but she slapped at his arm. "Don't," she hissed through clenched teeth.

Book Description

This rich collection of contemporary short stories will sweep readers into the heat and passions of the Arabian world. The unique rhythm of each tale combines to create a collection that brings about greater understanding. From the opening tale, where a lovestruck woman plots to attract her neighbor, to the trials of a young woman braving a war zone to retrieve medication for her mother, this anthology is filled with themes and emotions that readers from all over the world will relate to. The writing styles are diverse. The story of a mythical bird, the arfaj, is reminiscent of Aesop’s Fables. There are even touches of the supernatural, as one author spins the story of a student who gets ethereal assistance preparing his graduate thesis. “It is very easy to simplify, stereotype, and misunderstand cultures that we are unfamiliar with. In choosing the pieces for translation, Abdallah Altaiyeb presents a society, family dynamics, and perspectives that, in many ways, mirror our lives in the West. Translating someone else’s work is a monumental task. Doing it well is an artform. This is a masterful job of choosing stories that paint vivid pictures that know no borders.” – Gene Gumbs, journalist and author

In a land where stories of the Shadow Demon keep children shivering in bed and tales of the Yorel bring hope to the commoner, Yosyph is both the reason for their fear and their hope.

When he learns that thousands of his people will be sent as slaves to the mines, he must choose-fight the royal army with an ill-prepared rebellion or journey to the land of his ancestors through the deadly King's Trial. If he succeeds, he'll win his kins' loyalty and their help. His journey grows complicated when he rescues a maiden and enrages a prince, but if he doesn't return with help in time, the people he's loved and secretly served will be gone.
