The Crown of Silence
by Storm Constantinewhen shan was fifteen years old, dark soldiers came out of the west, like a cloud of evil boiling over the soft hills of his homeland. They commanded terrible beasts, which killed with hooked claws like scythes and cold eyes that dripped icy fire. The soldiers wore helmets that looked like fiends, tusked and snarling and sneering. The terrible consequences of war have left the boy Shan wounded in body and mind by the invading army of Magravandias. He is taken from his devastated village by the magus Taropat, chosen by the master's mysterious impulse to make Shan his pupil--and a weapon against the invading empire. In his forest hideaway, Taropat teaches the boy both magic and how to hone his loathing of the Mag- ravandian empire into a lethal weapon. The magi of the forest seek to make a hero; bent on revenge, Shan willingly accepts the role. Taropat is far more, even, than the powerful wizard he seems. Shan learns the tragic truth of what befell Khaster Leckery, companion to the dark Dragon Heir, Valraven Palindrake, and husband toValraven's sister. And Shan discovers he himself is soon to become an inextricable part of Khaster's story. The Crown of Silence is the second volume in the Chronicles of Magravandias, Storm Constantine's breathtaking new fantasy masterpiece. The first is Sea Dragon Heir.
Crown of Slaves (Honor Harrington Universe #1)
by Eric Flint David WeberA NEW SERIES SET IN THE "HONORVERSE"OF HONOR HARRINGTON. The Star Kingdom's ally Erewhon is growing increasingly restive in the alliance because the new High Ridge regime ignores its needs. Added to the longstanding problem of a slave labor planet controlled by hostile Mesans in Erewhon's stellar backyard, which High Ridge refuses to deal with, the recent assassination of the Solarian League's most prominent voice of public conscience indicates the growing danger of political instability in the Solarian League which is also close to Erewhon. In desperation, Queen Elizabeth tries to defuse the situation by sending a private mission to Erewhon led by Captain Zilwicki, accompanied by one of her nieces. When they arrive on Erewhon, however, Manticore's envoys find themselves in a mess. Not only do they encounter one of the Republic of Haven's most capable agents Victor Cachat-but they also discover that the Solarian League's military delegation seems up to its neck in skullduggery. And, just to put the icing on the cake, the radical freed slave organization, the Audubon Ballroom, is also on the scene led by its notorious and ruthless assassin, Jeremy X.
Crown of Stars (Crown of Stars, Book #7)
by Kate Elliottfrom the book jacket As Crown of Stars opens, the land is just beginning to recover from the great cataclysm brought on by the return of the lost Aoi land from the aether to the earth from which it was spell-cast so many hundreds of years ago. The sun can once again be glimpsed in the sky, the earthquakes and devastatingly unnatural storms have ended. But far too much has been lost or transformed.

And while Sanglant struggles to legitimize not only his own rulership but Liath's status as his wife and consort, others are leaguing against him.... The Aoi, seeking to raise distrust and start conflicts among the humans, are carrying out random attacks while implicating Sanglant as their leader.... Liath, setting out on a mission in search of forbidden magics, is unexpectedly beset by enemies she may not be able to withstand.... Stronghand is on a march of conquest that will inevitably lead into the heart of Sanglant's realm.... Adelheid has made an unholy alliance with the treacherous Antonia, who, with the deadly galla at her command, is prepared to strike at Liath, Sanglant, or anyone who threatens her plans.... Sabella and Duke Conrad have also marshaled their forces and are moving to seize the crown from Sanglant.... And Alain must take his own stand against the Lady of Battles if he is to have any hope of redeeming this war- and magic-torn world....
