"This is the kind of fantasy that makes me remember why I enjoyed it growing up. There's plenty of action and adventure; swords and sorcery; politics and intrigue, but it's ultimately a character-driven story."
The desperate search forthe exiled heir of her Trade Houseleads Matilda Lanai across a war-torn continent and to the gates of the Sable City, where centuries ago dark magic almost destroyed the world.Along with a sinister sorceress, a broken-hearted samurai, and a miscreant mercenary long on charm but lousy with a crossbow, Tilda must brave the demon-infested ruins. Only then can she find John Deskata, who may not want to be found at all.
Volume One of the Norothian Cycle. Muskets, Magic, and Matilda Lanai.
(#2 Death of a Kingdom, #3 The Wind from Miilark, #4 Devil Town)
Only one thing worse than reading short blurbs for long books, writing short blurbs for long books. The above is very nuts and bolts: "Tilda must go here to do this," but of course it is all a lot more complicated than that. I love the fantasy genre and respect its classic elements. That said, this series is to some extent about playing with what might be expected, and bringing some humor, mystery, and a bit of flirty banter to what can easily turn only too grim, when the stakes are so "fantastically" high. It isn't "Dark" fantasy, but nor is it slapstick. It's basically a character piece about Tilda Lanai, trying to hold down a job, help out her friends, and survive the day-to-day. With a couple dragons thrown in, of course. ;-) - Ed McNally
