Book Description
The demon armies have returned, and the world was not prepared to face them. Each bearing a piece of the sacred light, Corin and Olenka have finally found the power to defend their people. But the demon scourge is spreading fast, and there are few places of refuge left in the endless storm. Very soon, there may be no one left to save amid the breathless hordes of infected. Unless the world can come together. But the stone giants of Shan Zhong are not easily swayed. Now Corin must prove himself to the children of the mountains, a race so ancient that they remember the first yokai calamity… …as well as Vallin’s failure to end it. To the south, Olenka races from the safety of the sacred city to rescue a doomed fleet on a sick sea, but help is hard to come by on the blackened tides of a tainted ocean. Should she place her trust in her own finite strength, or in the bloody hands of pirates who claim noble intent? Either way, the future is filled with the harrowing echoes of the past. What readers are saying about Harrowing Echoes: "Benjamin Schwarting continues his engaging coming of age fantasy!

Kindred Straits

ISBN: 1952853036
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
A typhoon’s wrath can be weathered with friends. Olenka is running away, and nothing is going to stop her: not monks, not monsoons, not even the crushing depths of the ocean itself. For too long she’s been dreaming of a life on the high seas, somewhere far beyond the temple’s suffocating walls. A sirena’s life filled with mystery and adventure and freedom. But freedom comes at a price. As Olenka quickly learns, the bustling boardwalks of Sotay Wharf harbor more than silks and spices. Wicked things haunt these waters: hungry sharks searching for careless minnows. If she’s going to have a chance of navigating these treacherous straits, she’ll need a crew. An experienced crew. But experience also comes at a price. Clueless and afraid, Olenka stumbles into Daisay, a fast-talking sirena captain, and her ragged band of almost-pirates. With the temple’s bushi tracking her on one end, and a ship of kaizo hunting her on the other, are Daisay’s seasoned spears just the help she needs to survive? Or will the crew’s checkered past add another weave to the net already closing in around them? What readers are saying about Kindred Straits: "I enjoyed the story telling and all the characters. VERY strong female cast ...A gritty adventure and I loved all of it!" —Rae Kaup, Shut Up and Book Up “I really liked this book! ...The main characters were all super interesting…The growth in the main character was great to read…I really loved this story and I'm pretty excited to read more of this series! I love how it can stay a standalone but I'm definitely enjoying everything about it enough to want to learn more.” —StoryGraph Reviewer “I…LOVED…THIS…BOOK! The world building is original, the characters are lively, the plot is engaging, and the writing is awesome!” —StoryGraph Reviewer “I really enjoyed this start to the Daughters of the Storm series … I'm glad I was able to go on this journey and I enjoyed the characters.” —Goodreads Reviewer
