The Wolves of Midwinter: The tale of THE WOLF GIFT continues . . .The novel opens on a cold, gray landscape. It is the beginning of December. Oak fires are burning in the stately flickering hearths of Nideck Point. It is Yuletide. For Reuben Golding, now infused with the wolf gift and under the loving tutelage of the Morphenkinder, this Christmas promises to be like no other . . . as he soon becomes aware that the Morphenkinder, steeped in their own rituals, are also celebrating the Midwinter Yuletide festival deep within Nideck forest.
From out of the shadows of the exquisite mansion comes a ghost—tormented, imploring, unable to speak yet able to embrace and desire with desperate affection . . . As Reuben finds himself caught up with the passions and yearnings of this spectral presence and the preparations for the Nideck town Christmas reach a fever pitch, astonishing secrets are revealed, secrets that tell of a strange netherworld, of spirits—centuries old—who possess their own fantastical ancient histories and taunt with their dark, magical powers . . .
The Heavens Rise: My name is Niquette Delongpre and on the night before my mother’s forty-seventh birthday, my entire family vanished without a trace. Everyone assumed the swamp swallowed them. They were wrong. The real story begins weeks earlier, in the very soil of the place we called Elysium, which means “final resting place for the heroic and virtuous.” An ironic name, given that the secret unearthed there has the potential to change the course of human history.
Deep
in the swamps outside of New Orleans,
Niquette
Delongpre and her family uncover a well on their property—a well
that has roots all the way down into the soils of the Mississippi
River. A well that brings ancient things to the surface—things that
should have stayed buried.
When Niquette is exposed to a small
parasite, it triggers in her mysterious and dangerous powers. As she
tries to come to grips with these new abilities and what they might
mean for her future, she realizes that she is not alone. Someone
else, someone who was exposed to the same mysterious parasite during
a clandestine visit to the swamp Niquette would rather keep secret,
also is discovering his new talents, and he’s not as nice as she
is…
Anne and Christopher Rice sign their books, The Wolves of Midwinter and The Heavens Rise, respectively.
If you are unable to attend, you must call the book shop to order signed books.
