Children of the Shaman #2
The Glass Mountain
As crows return to the skies over Masalyar, dark magic is at work.
When Annat’s brother vanishes from his university, the young shaman and her aunt Yuste set out to find him. But soon they learn that Malchik is not the only one in danger; a Magus from Sklava wants to raise an old enemy from the dead, and for that he needs both Malchik and Annat’s souls, and the heart of their father, thrice-powerful shaman Yuda Vasilyevich.
With Annat and Malchik captive in the Glass Mountain, an army under the Doyen of Ademar marching on their homeland and a trap laid for Yuda, Yuste may be the only one who can save her family – and her country. But Yuste lost her powers years ago; and her only allies are a burned-out shaman-detective, an old warrior, and the Doyen’s youngest son.
In the forests of the North, Yuste must confront her true self, her twin brother – and the wolves.
