Very Early ARCs of New Novel!
So, dear readers...I am getting ever closer to releasing my next book! In fact, I am so close that I'm offering advance review copies of "The Breathing Sea, Part I: Burning" to those that want them! Just send me a message or reply to this post, and I'll send you one. They are still bare bones PDFs, but they're readable on iBooks, Bluefire, and apps like that.
Of course, I would appreciate reviews when the book is released! Tentative release date is July 7 (Ivan Kupala). And if you happen to catch any typos or egregious continuity errors (which happen to the best of us), I'd be grateful to have them pointed out. To let you know what you'd be getting into, here's the blurb:
Dasha is a gift from the gods. Only she’s not very gifted. Or at least so it seems to her.
Seventeen years ago, Dasha’s mother made a bargain with the gods. She would bear a gods-touched child, one who would stand on the threshold between the worlds, human and divine. Dasha is that child, now almost ready to become a woman, and one day take her mother’s place as Empress of all of Zem’. Except that Dasha is shy, lonely, and one of the least magically inclined girls in the Known World. Instead she has fits and uncontrollable visions. When she sets off with her father on her first journey away from her home kremlin, she hopes she will finally find someone who can help her come into her powers. But those whom she finds only want to use her instead. What will it take for her to unlock the abilities hidden within her, and take up her proper place in the world?
The sequel to the award-winning novel “The Midnight Land,” “The Breathing Sea” returns to the land of Zem’, where animals speak, trees walk, and women rule. Filled with allusions to Russian history, literature, and fairy tales, this coming-of-age tale straddles the line between high fantasy and literary fiction.
