The Seer (Chronicles of the Riftlands #3)
by Rowan McAllisterChronicles of the Riftlands: Book ThreeFor the past ten years, smuggling magic users safely out of Brotherhood-controlled Rassa has been the only thing keeping Dakso Kavalyan going. But with his funding cut and rumors of impending civil war, his orders from the Mage’s High Council are clear: his final mission is information gathering only. No rescuing even one more hunted soul. Daks has never been great at following orders. When he stumbles upon a Seer spouting prophecy in front of one of the hated brothers, he can’t just walk away. Ravi never asked to be rescued, nor did he ask for the Visions plaguing his life and endangering everyone he’s ever cared about. The last thing he needs is a reckless brute crashing into his carefully laid plans. Seems the gods have other ideas. As Daks and Ravi flee the city together, their reluctant alliance blooms into something more, but trials, bad luck, and Daks’s infuriating penchant for finding trouble dog their every move. Will trusting this reckless rogue with his heart and his life be the worst decision Ravi’s ever made… or the best?
The Seer and the Sword
by Victoria Hanleya versatile and promising new writer who says that it is an "honor" to write for young adults. This novel is followed by a companion piece entitled The Healer's Keep. Princess Torina lives a charmed life, nurtured by loving parents in the mighty kingdom of Archeld. But her father, King Kareed, hungers to extend his boundaries. He seizes the peaceful kingdom of Bellandra-and its legendary sword, rumored to defeat any enemy. On his return, he offers Torina two gifts: a beautiful crystal and the defeated king's son, Landon, as a slave. Both prove more precious than she could ever imagine, for through theta Torina makes two magnificent discoveries: She is a seer, able to view the past and future in her ball, and Lander is not a servant but a peer, a noble spirit who matches her in wits, bravery, and strength of character. But beneath the seemingly orderly surface in Archeld lurk greed, revenge, and mutinous plots. Fingers point at Landon, but Torina cannot believe he would harm her or her family. Can she use her newfound powers to save her beleaguered kingdom? Or must the seer take up the sword? Kirkus Reviews gives this work strong praise: "Hanley pulls off the cleverly constructed plot ... with cinematic panache, piling on hairsbreadth escapes, near misses, and nailbiting cliffhangers."

Sefer
by Ewa Lipska Barbara Bogoczek Tony HowardPoetic, witty, and ever so faintly surreal, Sefer delicately explores the legacy of the Holocaust for the postwar generation, a generation for whom a devastating history has grown distant, both temporally and emotionally. The novel’s protagonist, Jan Sefer, is a psychotherapist living in Vienna—someone whose professional life puts him in daily contact with the traumas of others but who has found it difficult to address his own family background, especially his memories of his father. During a two-week trip to his father’s birthplace, Kraków—a visit he has long postponed—he begins to sort out some of his feelings and to connect with a past the memory of which is swiftly disintegrating. Much like memory itself, Sefer speaks to us obliquely, through the juxtaposition of images and vignettes rather than through the construction of a linear narrative. With its fragmentary structure and its preference for hints rather than explanations, the novel belongs to the realm of the postmodern, while it also incorporates subtle elements of magical realism. One of Poland’s best-known poets, Ewa Lipska is today a major figure in European literature. In their translation of Sefer, Lipska’s first novel, translators Barbara Bogoczek and Tony Howard deftly capture the poet’s unmistakable voice—cool and precise, gently ironic, and deeply humane.
