Cavern Of Black Ice Views

General Goods

His uncle, Angus Lok, takes him to Spire Vanis. There, Angus and Raif rescue Ash from the Surlord's soldiers and flee the city, deciding to travel to another city called Ille Glaive. Along the way, Marafice Eye the Knife , Iss's leading general, pursues them with some soldiers and a sorcerer called Sarga Veys. Most of the soldiers are lost as they follow Ash onto the ice of a lake, and subsequently drown, though Veys uses magic to escape and the Knife also makes it out. Once in Ille Glaive, Angus, Ash and Raif meet with Heritas Cant, another sorcerer. Cant explains Ash's abilities to reach the Blind, resting place of all manner of dark creatures sealed away in ancient history. Angus, Ash, and Raif then proceed northward to the Cavern of Black Ice, where Ash can get rid of her abilities as a Reach.

It's finished! The book that took over my life and gave me my first gray hair is done!! (Forget about A Cavern Of Black Ice. This is the Cavern Of Gray Ice!) What I mean by done is that I've now sent it off to my publisher (Warner Aspect) and my editor Betsy, to see if any changes need to be made before the lengthy publishing process begins. This book is BIG! There are hundreds of characters to keep track of, 30 clans, 6 cities, 5 races and several packs of dogs! (No cats....he he he. Sorry you cat lovers out there, but I canna abide our feline friends!). 1lt;ggt; Below you'll find some early details on the book.

The book is NOT a sequel to the BOOK OF WORDS, though it is set in the same world and contains some very deep and important connections to the first series. People can read A CAVERN OF BLACK ICE without having read the Words series first. A few characters crossover to the new series, but I canna tell you who or I'd have to send Moth & Clem round to rough you up! (-;
