The Trees of Zharka
A world in perpetual penance, 79 sacred trees, and a young priest questioning everything he's been taught. A surprisingly nuanced, thoughtful, and optimistic little science-fiction novel.
The Seventh Gate
The breathtaking conclusion to Seven Citadels left me sobbing at one in the morning. A remarkable story of complicated friendships, physical beauty, and the painful, wonderful realities of being human.
Children of the Wind
The second Seven Citadels adventure deepens its wonderfully human characters, explores faith and philosophy without preaching, and introduces an argumentative companion and a delightful cat.
