WINGS OF WRATH PREVIEW She's getting close to completing the manuscript - almost there! In a world where spells are fueled by the essence of one's own life, the young peasant woman Kamala has proven strong and determined enough to claim the most powerful sorcery for her own. But her rise to power is not without cost. The shadowy brotherhood of Magisters now hunts her for killing one of their kind, and her only hope of survival may lie in fleeing to the northern Protectorates, where spells are warped by a curse called the Wrath and the shadow of an ancient Enemy is once more falling across the land. Joining company with the Guardian Rhys, she will soon discover the true origin of the Wrath, and learn of an ancient artifact that might awaken the northern bloodlines to their true potential...if it does not drive them mad first. For an ancient Enemy has indeed returned to the civilized lands -- a creature said to feed upon the souls of men -- and its human agents are already hard at work. In the High Kingdom, where the monk Salvator Aurelius has just claimed his father's throne, the unity of a great empire is about to be tested...along with its ruler's faith. In the halls of Kierdwyn, the terrible truth at the heart of the Guardians' mission is about to be revealed. And in warm southern climes of Sankara, the woman called Witch-Queen is about to receive an offer she dares not refuse: true immortality, and with it revenge upon the Magisters who used and abandoned her. But acceptance will require that she become something other than human, and agree to serve those who pave the way for the souleaters' return. C.S. Friedman is the best-selling author of seven novels, including the popular Coldfire Trilogy and Magister Trilogy. This fan page is dedicated to the celebration and exploration of her work. Downtime is the name of a short story she wrote that appears in DAW's 30th Anniversary SF Anthology. It's a dark, disturbing (of course) sci fi piece that the author is extremely proud of, and thinks is one of her best short works to date. Vintage C. S. Friedman
Why buy? She wrote some new material for this special edition, including an exhaustive new glossary and a chapter from her novel, The Wilding. The glossary should be a good introduction for people who haven't read the work before, and have lots of fascinating new stuff for people who did. You can also check out C.S. Friedman's personal site at www.csfriedman.com.
