The Mornith War
by Patrick Doud***Visit The Winnitok Tales' website at winnitoktales.com for the most up-to-date series information, excerpts, downloadable images, character blogs and social media profiles, and more.Though The Mornith War picks up three years and many adventures after the events in The Hunt for the Eye of Ogin, Patrick Doud's latest book stands alone as a gripping epic fantasy novel. Elwood Pitch and his companions are charged with a task just beyond Winnitok's northern edge. The land's immortal protector Granashon the Nohar has joined them in the company of a charismatic prophet, who has been trying desperately to establish a truce between the prophet's followers and a proud clan of wolf truans. No sooner have the scouts learned of this threat to peace than it is overshadowed by one even more ominous--a scourge of spirits burning the prophet's fields with a ghostly, seemingly unstoppable green fire. While Granashon leads the band of adventurers to battle the source of the spirits in an ancient mountain fortress, Elwood's companion Drallah stays behind to help protect the besieged prophet and her followers--including a girl with whom Elwood has begun a relationship that the prophet has expressly forbidden. With the spirits threatening to spread to Winnitok and beyond, catastrophe looms. Can Elwood and his friends stop it? Showcasing Patrick Doud's trademark blend of poetic language, narrative power, and memorable characterizations, The Mornith War also features an evocative cover illustration by August Hall, whose work has been featured in major motion pictures, including Finding Nemo.From the Hardcover edition.

Mort: A Discworld Novel (Death #1)
by Terry PratchettNew York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett makes Death a central character in Mort, a fabulous installment in Discworld, the fantasy cosmos where even the angel of darkness needs some assistance. Death comes to everyone eventually on Discworld. And now he's come to Mort with an offer the young man can't refuse. (No, literally, can't refuse since being dead isn't exactly compulsory.) Actually, it's a pretty good deal. As Death's apprentice, Mort will have free board and lodging. He'll get use of the company horse. And he won't have to take any time off for family funerals. But despite the obvious perks, young Mort is about to discover that there is a serious downside to working for the Reaper Man . . . because this perfect job can be a killer on one's love life.Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent, bestselling novels have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to the likes of Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.

Mortal: Volume 1 (Volume 1 #1)
by Qiu LinDiDaiOne flower and one world, the universe is also dust; there is no connection between the real and the false; one thought is eternal, one thought is eternal; the Dao is the Dao, the heavens are like the heavens, I have no heaven; the heavens and the heavens are like the heavens, I have no heaven, I am also the Dao. Truth and falsehood, presence or absence, truth or falsehood, these were just telepathic thoughts transformations! With a single thought, he gave birth to a world with the universe in his heart; the Mystery Granny Sect opened its doors wide to welcome him into the mortal world; he stepped through the myriad universe and lived his life in billions of worlds; life and death was the path, life and death was the way, the pots and pans were as big as the sky; the fusion of purple qi required two parts, the heaven and earth for three members, and the four phenomena were sometimes even more so, the completion of the five elements! This story is purely fictitious, the plot is not duplicated, if there is the same story, it is pure coincidence; the names of the characters are all in the same voice, such as Mo Gao (Ghost Catcher), etc., if there is a pure coincidence of the same name!
