A play of shadow : Mellynne
Bannan Larmensu, the truthseer who won Jenn Nalynn's heart, learns his brother-in-law was sent as a peace envoy to Channen, capitol of the mysterious domain of Mellynne, and has disappeared. When Bannan's young nephews arrive in Marrowdell, he fears the worst, that his sister, the fiery Lila, has gone in search of her husband, leaving her sons in his care. The law forbids Bannan from leaving Marrowdell and travelling to Mellynne to help his sister. In this world. As a turn-born, Jenn Nalynn has the power to cross into the magical realm of the Verge, and take Bannan with her. Once there, they could find a way into Mellynne. If they survive. The Verge is wild and deadly, alive with strange magic. Dragons roar and kruar wait in ambush, and the powerful turn-born who care for their world do not care for Jenn Nalynn. She's willing to try. Wisp and Scourge - and the house toads - offer their help. But what none of them know is that magic is rife in Channen, magic that flows from the Verge itself. And not even a turn-born will be safe there.

A Pre-Columbian Bestiary
An encyclopedic collaboration between award-winning Mexican
American scholar Ilan Stavans and illustrator Eko, A
Pre-Columbian Bestiary features lively and informative
descriptions of forty-six religious, mythical, and imaginary
creatures from the Nahua, Aztec, Maya, Tabasco, Inca, Aymara, and
other cultures of Latin America.
From the siren-like Acuecuéyotl and the water animal Chaac to
the class-conscious Oc and the god of light and darkness Xólotl,
the magnificent entities in this volume belong to the same family
of real and invented creatures imagined by Dante, Franz Kafka, C.
S. Lewis, Jorge Luis Borges, Umberto Eco, and J. K. Rowling. They
are mined from indigenous religious texts, like the Popol
Vuh, and from chronicles, both real and fictional, of the
Spanish conquest by Diego Durán, Bernal Díaz del Castillo, and
Fernando de Zarzamora, among others. In this playful compilation,
Stavans distills imagery from the work of magic realist masters
such as Juan Rulfo and Gabriel García Márquez; from songs of
protest in Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru; and from aboriginal beasts
in Jewish, Muslim, European, British, and other traditions. In the
spirit of imaginative invention, even the bibliography is a mixture
of authentic and concocted material.
An inspiring record of resistance and memory from a civilization
whose superb pantheon of myths never ceases to amaze, A
Pre-Columbian Bestiary will delight anyone interested in the
history and culture of Latin America.
