<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>DRAGON AWARD-NOMINATED SERIES</b><b>. New entry in the Witchy War series, blending alternate history, Appalachian Folklore, and epic fantasy. First time in paperback.</b> <p/>Sarah Calhoun has taken her father's throne and ascended into her goddess's presence in Unfallen Eden, as her father never did. <p/> And now young Sarah Calhoun is dying. <p/> Her uncle Thomas Penn isn't done with her. Armed with new powers conferred upon him by the Necromancer and with new allies won via his impending marriage, Penn aims to remove Sarah from her throne--and from the world of the living. In the meantime, Sarah has fallen out with one of her best allies. Against Sarah's advice, her brother Nathaniel heads into Imperial Philadelphia with the reckless and likely impossible aim of healing the Emperor Thomas. <p/> On the shores of the northern seas, agents of Franklin's Conventicle with an unlikely connection to the Emperor struggle to win allies among the pole-dwelling giants, who are torn between seizing land covertly from the Firstborn of the Ohio and entering the war openly on the side of Simon Sword. In the west, the Heron King rides an explosive storm into war, crushing the mortal kingdoms in his path and bearing down on Sarah's Cahokia. <p/> To survive--and to gain the strength she needs to fight this impossible war--Sarah must unite the Moundbuilder kings to enact an ancient rite that will propel her beyond mortality. To do so, she must not only win over doubters among the Firstborn kings, but she must also beat back a rebellion among the Handmaids of her goddess--for there are some of the goddess's priestesses who long for the dark days of human sacrifice, and who are willing to throw Sarah herself upon the altar. <p/> <b>Praise for <i>Witchy Winter</i><i>: </i></b><br> "Butler follows <i>Witchy Eye</i> with a satisfying second tale of a magic-filled early America. . . .

Butler: </b><br> " . . . [Y]ou can't stop yourself from taking another bite . . . and another . . . and another . . . I didn't want to stop reading . . . Kudos!"--R.A. Salvatore <p/> "Excellent book. I am impressed by the creativity and the depth of the world building. Dave Butler is a great storyteller."--Larry Correia <p/> "<i>Witchy Eye</i> is an intricate and imaginative alternate history with a cast of characters and quirky situations that would make a Dickens novel proud." --Kevin J. Anderson <p/> "Butler's fantasy is by turns sardonic and lighthearted; ghoulish shadows claw into the most remote areas and heroism bursts out of the most unlikely people. Sarah is the epitome of the downtrodden hero who refuses to give up until she gets what she needs, and her story will appeal to fantasy readers of all stripes."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "David's a pro storyteller, and you're in for a great ride."--Larry Dixon <p/> " . . .
