Above the Snowline - the fourth Castle book

Submitted by steph on 24 February 2009 - 4:43pm.


Above the Snowline, the fourth Castle book, is finished and with the publishers. At last!

What's it about? Here's the blurb:

Awian exiles are building a stronghold in the Darkling mountains, where the Rhydanne hunt. Their clash of interests soon leads to bloodshed and Shira Dellin, a Rhydanne huntress, appeals to the immortal Circle for justice. The Emperor sends Jant, half-Rhydanne, half-Awian, and all-confidence, to mediate. As Jant is drawn into the spiralling violence he is shaken into coming to terms with his own heritage and his feelings for the alien, intoxicating Dellin.

It's available for pre-order from Amazon now, although the wheels of publishing grind exceedingly slowly so it might be some time before you receive one...

I'm now starting another book, also in the Fourlands, but with a fresh voice and a new setting.

This news made my day. Utter joy.

Do you have a rough idea when it will be released?

Thanks, m'dears.

At the moment the release date is December -- which I'm sure you'll agree is far too long to wait. Hopefully the date will be brought forward, and when I know for sure, I'll post it.

Good News Steph - I've pre-ordered my copy from Amazon. December seems such a long way away.

I'm also looking forward to the release of 'Above the snowline'. I guess that Jant finally crosses the line for good at the end of this one.. you getting a new storyteller and all ;-)
Nevermind. As I said, I'm really looking forward to the next one!
