Book Description
Becoming a Diplomat is all Naia has ever wanted. Diplomats spend their lives brokering peace and protecting the oppressed. They’re highly respected. They get to travel the known world. The problem is, Diplomats aren’t supposed to be angry, and Naia’s angry all the time. Fearing she’s about to be expelled from the university, Naia vows to find something that will prove her value as a Diplomat. She delves deep into unknown parts of the great university library, where she encounters what might be a spirit—or might be a figure from myth. To unravel the mystery, she enlists the help of her best friend, Zolin, who is on his own quest to find where he fits in the Diplomatic Corps. Little do they know that the Amethirian civil war is about to reach their island home of Ranarr. And what Naia and Zolin discover will create ripples that spread from Ranarr to Amethir and beyond.

Book Description
Princess Azmei died for her country three years ago–or so everyone but a trusted few believed. Having survived assassination attempts, the desert, dragons, and a treacherous plot designed to destroy her entire family, Azmei has finally managed to save her kingdom. Now she has to save the world. Azmei travels to Amethir, whose prince she promised three years ago to marry. With her is Hawk, the man who loves her, and Yar, the Voice of Dragons. They carry a terrifying message for the king of Amethir: the gods are waking and the world is about to shake. Prince Vistaren of Amethir has also received a frightening warning, this one from a powerful stormwitch–weather magic is failing. Patterns of storms are beginning to build outside their prescribed season. While the Stormwitch Academy officially denies any problems, there are hints of trouble yet to come. Azmei and Vistaren know they must act. But the king refuses to listen to them and the land is beginning to tear itself apart. Facing pirate attacks, seadragon swarms, and a strange woman who uses magic in a way no stormwitch should, Vistaren and Azmei know they must find a way to set things right. But what price is too high to save the world?

Book Description
Challenging convention with the SF nonconformist Roger Zelazny combined poetic prose with fearless literary ambition to become one of the most influential science fiction writers of the 1960s. Yet many critics found his later novels underachieving and his turn to fantasy a disappointment. F. Brett Cox surveys the landscape of Zelazny's creative life and contradictions. Launched by the classic 1963 short story "A Rose for Ecclesiastes," Zelazny soon won the Hugo Award for Best Novel with ...And Call Me Conrad and two years later won again for Lord of Light. Cox looks at the author's overnight success and follows Zelazny into a period of continued formal experimentation, the commercial triumph of the Amber sword and sorcery novels, and renewed acclaim for Hugo-winning novellas such as "Home Is the Hangman" and "24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai." Throughout, Cox analyzes aspects of Zelazny's art, from his preference for poetically alienated protagonists to the ways his plots reflected his determined individualism. Clear-eyed and detailed, Roger Zelazny provides an up-to-date reconsideration of an often-misunderstood SF maverick.

Book Description
Privateer Arama Dzornaea, captain of the Dawn Star, must transport Crown Prince Vistaren of Amethir to meet his contracted bride, Princess Azmei of Tamnen. Arama worries her unwelcome attraction to General Lozarr Algot may cloud her judgement. Vistaren isn’t exactly thrilled about his upcoming marriage to a princess, since he likes men instead of women. Torn between duty and desire, he doesn’t know what to do. And Azmei doesn’t like the decision she’s facing: marry a stranger or let her kingdom’s war go on with no end in sight. With some who will stop at nothing to prevent the alliance, princess, pirate, and prince are sailing into a precarious situation, with an unruly stormwitch, mysterious witchery echoes, and assassins on their trail. There’s a storm on the horizon, and its shadow is growing to cover the whole world.
