Suzanne Francis<\/a> has brought us another excellent novel! Wintermoon Ice<\/a><\/em> is the first book of the \u201cSons of the Mariner\u201d series. This is an intriguing fantasy, set both in the present day and in an otherworldly place and time. The science fiction elements of time travel and alternate universes are woven masterfully into the tale.<\/p>\n

We meet again some of the characters first encountered in Suzanne Francis\u2019s earlier series, \u201cSong of the Arkafina\u201d — consisting of Heart of Hythea<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>Ketha\u2019s Daughter<\/em><\/a>, Dawnmaid<\/a><\/em> and Beyond the Gyre<\/em><\/a>. However, Wintermoon Ice<\/em> can be read as a standalone novel and serves as an excellent introduction to the work of Suzanne Francis.<\/p>\n

Wintermoon Ice<\/em> is available now from all good ebook stores, including Fictionwise, eBooks.com<\/a>, Scribd, Wowio Sony Connect, and on Amazon.com for the Kindle.<\/p>\n

Here is the “back cover copy”:<\/p>\n

Wintermoon Ice<\/em>, set on present-day Earth, features Tessa Kivelson, an archaeologist who unexpectedly acquires a mirror and a journal from her long-dead grandmother, Suvi Markku. This find thrusts Tessa into danger from alien creatures called Polydactyls, and she turns to her exasperating neighbour Jakob Faircrow for help. He is a capable defender (and later, lover) but she finds his smug arrogance infuriating. Jakob and Tessa must put aside their differences long enough to discover why Suvi hid the mirror and why the Polys want it. The journal provides vital clues to Suvi\u2019s past life in Severnessa with Jakob\u2019s twin brother Lut — a life that will shortly intersect with Tessa\u2019s, when a magic gateway blends past and present, and brings the two women face to face with the creator of the Polydactyls.<\/p>\n

Wintermoon Ice<\/em> is a spellbinding tale of twos: two cites, two times, two brothers and two women, who must save their world from an unspeakable terror.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
