Four Days Left to Receive Your Free Copy!
The launch will, hopefully, be at World’s Biggest Bookstore, 20 Edward Street, Toronto, Ontario, Saturday, September 26. I’m working on firming up that event. This is to be an extended launch that will carry over to Word on the Street at Queen’s Park, Toronto, Ontario the following day, Sunday, September 27. Five Rivers will have a booth at Word on the Street, where I’ll be joined for the day by author, Paul Lima.
What is From Mountains of Ice about? The novel is a cultural fantasy set in a vaguely Italian Renaissance world.
From the back cover blurb: Sylvio spent the past decade banished from Simare’s court, stripped of land, ancestral home and title – from Minister of National Security to back-country bowyer. But not any bowyer; Sylvio creates bows from laminations of wood and human bone, bows that are said to speak, bows known as the legendary arcossi.
And now, after a decade, he is called back to the capitol, summoned by his Prince whom he suspects is a patricide and insane. His very life is in danger and with it the country he has served through all his days.
From Mountains of Ice is a story of love, endurance and the meaning of honour.
