From Mountains of ice

by Lorina Stephens

Five Rivers Chapmanry | July 9, 2009 | Trade Paperback

Sylvio spent the past decade banished from Simare's court, stripped of land, ancestral home and title - from Minister of National Security to back-country bowyer. But not any bowyer; Sylvio creates bows from laminations of wood and human bone, bows that are said to speak, bows known as the legendary arcossi.

And now, after a decade, he is called back to the capitol, summoned by his Prince whom he suspects is a patricide and insane. His very life is in danger and with it the country he has served through all his days.

From Mountains of Ice is a story of love, endurance and the meaning of honour.

    After reading "Shadow Song" I could not wait for author Lorina Stephens to finish her next book "From Mountains of Ice". Lorina, once again, does not disappoint with this book. What a great book. I found it a fast and exciting read. "From Mountains of Ice" brings you into a world full of politics, a devoting wife's courage and love, as well as many spiritual whirl winds, a must read! I highly recommend this book. Well done Lorina!

From the Critics

...a non-stop ride filled with surprises at every turn.

- The Little Red Reviewer

The life of a bowyer won't seem so bad. From Mountains of Ice tells the story of fallen noble Sylvio, as he returns to the courts of Simare and finds that he's being dragged into a world of murder and insanity. Set in an Italian renaissance inspired world, From Mountains of Ice is an entertaining and original fantasy from Lorina Stephens, highly recommended.

- Midwest Book Review

A brilliant writer. One of the best. This isn't just good fantasy; it's top of the genre.

- Robert Runte, editor Tesseracts5

 Among the best fantasy books I've read in quite some time.

- Brian Rathbone, author, The Dawning of Power
