The island of Paulomi is about to turn into a land of no magic. This is a momentous occasion for a kingdom enslaved by illusionists in the not so distant past. Meanwhile, Urmila, the wife of the crown prince, accepts a forbidden child-giving potion in an act of desperation. She even agrees to the condition that she must return one of the two sons born to her when he turns five. When the time comes to fulfill her promise, however, she discovers that worse things await the three of them. At a time when the kingdom is still defending its freedom from its defeated but still determined enemy, death surely stalks her sons on all sides. But she will not let them pay the price for her mistake. As she sets out to undo her wrong, she crosses paths with Sitara, who has long feared and concealed her powers, and Trishula, another royal desperate to right his mistake. Clashing with shapeshifting nagas, mischievous pretas, and enemies old and new, she discovers that it is not just the lives of her sons at stake but the future of her entire kingdom.

As beautiful as she is deadly, drow princess Liriel Baenre undertakes a dangerous journey to the surface world—where discerning friend from foe is no easy task War has passed, and the drow return to Menzoberranzan to face the unthinkable: their armies defeated, their ruling houses shattered, their magic faded in the cruel light of the sun. In the aftermath of war, the dark elves brace themselves for the power struggle to come. Left with no other choice, they will submit themselves to the rule of the matrons and the tyranny of Lolth. Or will they? Liriel Baenre is a free-spirited drow princess who searches out adventure as passionately as most drow pursue power and status. When she discovers a way to take her heritage of dark elf magic to the surface world of Faerûn, she sets off alone on a hazardous quest. Many want to possess Liriel’s secret—or destroy it. Pursued by enemies from her homeland, Liriel does not receive a warm welcome in the world of light. Her best hope for an ally is Fyodor of Rashemen, a young berserker warrior who may also be her deadliest rival.

King Gesar was not an ordinary human being but rather a manifestation of the enlightened activity of all the buddhas, brought forth by the strength of their great compassion at a time of despair in the land of Tibet. Dating from the ninth century and with versions originating in many of the countries of Asia, Gesar’s story paints a detailed picture of the culture and life of the time. In this reflective and sometimes humorous retelling, David Shapiro shares the epic tale of Gesar’s birth, his rather rambunctious and troublesome early years, and his eventual ascendancy to become a heroic legend and leader of Tibet. It is filled with the ancient folk wisdom of Tibet and the guidance of Buddhism, relayed through proverbs, prose, and verse. It is a coming of age story and an epic tale that has the power to change one’s mind.
