New Kate Elliott

[murphy]

Just read in the June Locus magazine that her next book will be released in October of this year. It's called Spirit Gate. Doesn't say what it's about.

HMM...I seem to recall Kate posting something on this way back when.

I understood this is sort of a YA series called Crossroads and seperate to the Crown Of Stars world. Here's a blurb I found on it. Maybe Alia can confirm this is a seperate series?

World Fantasy and Nebula Award finalist Kate Elliott breaks new ground in a brilliantly original new fantasy set in a unique world of fabled cities, mysterious gods, and terrible dangers. From the first page readers will be swept up in the story of Mai and Captain Anji, as they become unwitting players in a conflict that began many years earlier, and which will shake the foundations of their land.

For hundreds of years the Guardians have ruled the world of the Hundred, but these powerful gods no longer exert their will on the world. Only the reeves, who patrol on enormous eagles, still represent the Guardians' power. And the reeves are losing their authority; for there is a dark shadow across the land that not even the reeves can stop.

A group of fanatics has risen to devour villages, towns, and cities in their drive to annihilate all who oppose them. No one knows who leads them; they seem inhumanly cruel and powerful. Mai and Anji, riding with a company of dedicated warriors and a single reeve who may hold a key to stopping the deadly advance of the devouring horde, must try, or the world will be lost to the carnage. But a young woman sworn to the Goddess may prove more important than them all . . . if they are not too late.

A haunting tale of people swept up by the chaos of war, this is superlative fantasy adventure, rich in texture, filled with color and excitement, masterfully crafted by a brilliantly gifted storyteller.

Crossroads was a Scifi... from the blurb I see it as a fantasy story.


Ooooo... looks like I get to do more research!!!!

Thanks Murphy and Gollum for this info! I so look forward to more to read from Kate.

I visited her site just after I posted. Let that be a lesson to me not to post when I am tired after running around in the heat all afternoon.

However, thanks for the blurb. Since I have read all her books and loved them, I look forward to this one.
