Shadowrise
Part 3 in the Shadowmarch series
Available March 2010
 
Southmarch Castle is about to be caught between two implacable enemies, the ancient, immortal Qar and the insane god-king, the Autarch of Xis. Meanwhile, its two young defenders, the king’s children Princess Briony and Prince Barrick, are both trapped far away from home and fighting for their lives.
Barrick is lost behind the Shadowline, facing all the terrible dangers and mysteries of that magical twilight land. Briony is alone in a treacherous foreign court, struggling to survive with no weapon left to her but her wits. And in the midst of all this, something unbelievable is awakening underneath Southmarch, something powerful and terrible that the world has not seen for thousands of years.
In this third volume Barrick and Briony, along with Qinnitan – the Autarch’s desperate, escaped slave – a loyal soldier named Ferras Vansen, and a tiny handful of other folk, ordinary and extraordinary, must find a way to save their world, or else witness the rise of a terrible new age – an age of unending darkness.

Wow. Thank you all for the very, very kind birthday wishes. It almost makes getting older worth it. Almost.

I actually forgot how old I am. I had to cut off one of my legs and count the rings. Wow, that's interesting -- you can even see which years I didn't get enough vitamin D.

Another tale from the land of work-avoidance
MY DESK
Moving from my left:
- Singing ringing bowl
- Folk art calendar whose tough wrapping still defies me (but it came from Tad)
- Notebook, phone base with no phone, little watering can that says LOVE, and it’s full of pens
- Five pairs of glasses (collected over the last few years)
- A money jar a quarter-way full of odd change, and the $20 bills I pay myself with, here and there, for jobs well done o...
