Chris Wooding, author of the thrilling novel Retribution Falls<\/span><\/a>, returns to a fantastical world of spectacular sky battles and high-flying heroics for another epic adventure.<\/p>\n

Deep in the heart of the Kurg rainforest lies a long-forgotten wreck. On board, behind a magically protected door, an elusive treasure awaits. Good thing Darian Frey, captain of the airship Ketty Jay<\/span>, has the daemonist Crake on board. Crake is their best chance of getting that door open\u2014if they can sober him up. For a prize this enticing, Frey is willing to brave the legendary monsters of the forbidding island and to ally himself with a partner who\u2019s even less trustworthy than he is.<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s behind that door is not what any of the fortune hunters expect, any more than they anticipate their fiercest competitor for the treasure\u2014a woman from Frey\u2019s past who also happens to be the most feared pirate in the skies.<\/p>\n

The Traitor\u2019s Daughter<\/span><\/a>
\nby Paula Brandon<\/span><\/p>\n

Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the beginning of a lush, epic, wholly original new trilogy that shines with magic, mystery, and captivating drama.<\/p>\n

On the Veiled Isles, ominous signs are apparent to those with the talent to read them. The polarity of magic is wavering at its source, heralding a vast upheaval poised to alter the very balance of nature. Blissfully unaware of the cataclysmic events to come, Jianna Belandor, the beautiful, privileged daughter of a powerful Faerlonnish overlord, has only one concern: the journey to meet her prospective husband. But revolution is stirring as her own conquered people rise up against their oppressors, and Jianna is kidnapped and held captive at a rebel stronghold, insurance against what are perceived as her father\u2019s crimes. <\/p>\n

The resistance movement opens Jianna\u2019s eyes\u2015and her heart. Despite her belief in her father\u2019s innocence, she is fascinated by the bold and charming nomadic physician and rebel sympathizer, Falaste Rione\u2014who offers Jianna her only sanctuary in a cold and calculating web of intrigue. As plague and chaos grip the land, Jianna is pushed to the limits of her courage and resourcefulness, while virulent enemies discover that alliance is their only hope to save the human race.<\/p>\n
