Dreamsnake
by Vonda N. McIntyreThe Hugo and Nebula Award–winning novel from the New York Times–bestselling author of The King&’s Daughter. On an Earth scarred by nuclear war, Snake harnesses the power of venom to cure illnesses and vaccinate against disease. The healer can even ease patients into death with the power of her dreamsnake. But she is not respected and trusted by all, and when she tries to help a sick nomad child, the frightened clan kills her dreamsnake. Ashamed of being misjudged and grieving the loss of her dreamsnake, Snake has one choice to maintain her livelihood: she must travel to the city, which jealously guards its knowledge. And before she faces the prejudices and arrogance of the people there, Snake must make her way across a barren desert, surviving storms and radiation poisoning, helping those she can—all while a madman stalks her every move . . . &“[Dreamsnake] is filled with scenes as suspenseful as anyone could wish . . . but most of all it addresses the humanity in all of us.&” —The Seattle Times &“A haunting, rich, and tender novel that explores the human side of science fiction in a manner that&’s all too uncommon.&” —Robert Silverberg &“A splendid tale, combining the sensitivity and attention to mood of the new generation of SF writers with a gripping and well-worked-out adventure . . . The novel is rich in character, background and incident—unusually absorbing and moving.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Instead of kicking butt, the lead character is dedicated to saving lives. . . . Snake&’s blighted world is expertly drawn, and her encounters with dysfunctional societies can be bracing and challenging reading.&” —The Guardian &“This is an exciting future-dream with real characters, a believable mythos and, what&’s more important, an excellent, readable story.&” —Frank Herbert, author of the Dune series

Dreamwielder (The Dreamwielder Chronicles #1)
by Garrett Calcaterra&“Blends the high adventure and courtly intrigue of the classic epic fantasy with a fresh, new magic born of the infinite and dangerous power of dreams&” (Misty Massey, author of Mad Kestrel). In a world shrouded by soot and smoke, young Makarria has literally been forbidden to dream . . . Legend has foretold the demise of Emperor Thedric Guderian at the hands of a sorceress with royal blood, and the emperor has made it his legacy to stamp out all magic from the Sargothian Empire in favor of primitive coal-fired smelters and steam-powered machines. When Guderian&’s minions discover a Dreamwielder on a seaside farmstead, a chain of events forces Guderian&’s new threat—the young Makarria—to flee from her home and embark upon an epic journey where her path intertwines with that of Princess Taera, her headstrong brother, Prince Caile, and the northman Siegbjorn, who captains a night-flying airship. Dogging their every step is the part-wolf, part-raven sorcerer, Wulfram, and Emperor Guderian, himself, a man who has the ability to stint magic and a vision to create a world where the laws of nature are beholden to men and machines. Only by learning to control the power she wields can Makarria save her newfound companions and stop the emperor from irreversibly exterminating both the magic in humans and their bond with nature. &“I enjoyed this book immensely. It&’s fast-paced, colorful, and richly detailed.&” —James P. Blaylock, World Fantasy Award winner
