Blood Magic's Snare
Sairsa is facing challenges as Dunnagh's wife -- as one of the wives of the first kashallan and his symbiote Tani. While Sairsa and her sister-wife are raising their babies, it's rare to get news of their husband on his dangerous adventures forging what he calls the kashallan alliance among many races of the planet Timorna. When a day outside the safety of Ticca Keep goes suddenly very wrong for Sairsa and her cousin, the other humans rally for a rescue. The other kashallans and soldiers all have roles to play in this rescue from hated Umwira enemies. But Sairsa is trapped by magic and more.
Blood Magic's Snare is the sixth book in the series Tales of the Kashallans, by celebrated author Celu Amberstone. Drawing on her Indigenous and Celtic heritage, Amberstone writes powerful fiction subtly different from the usual science fiction or fantasy adventures. For fans of the 'Hundred Worlds' approach used in Star Trek and in Golden Age magazines, there are diverse settings and cultures along the journey taken by these human and alien characters.
"This is space opera writ large combined with both fantasy and hard SF... It's obvious the Tales of the Kashallans constitute a genuine epic written with such skill that you will be enthralled however long the series lasts.
"This is a richly detailed fantasy/space opera that is positively addictive. Celu Amberstone has the knack of weaving elaboration and action into a vivid tapestry of action and character. Well rounded, deftly written, and a joy to read. Highly recommended. Consider it a useful antidote to mundane life these days... a genuine pleasure you owe yourself."
-R. Graeme Cameron for Amazing Stories.
"Amberstone's world-building puts together brave new peoples and gritty adventures, evoking strong responses in the reader."
- author Paula Johanson
