Marla Wolfblade of Hythria is determined to restore her family's
great name, but conspirators surround her: the Sorcerers'
Collective, the Patriots - even members of her own family. She must
make sure her son Damin lives to be old enough to restore the
Wolfblade name to its former glory. Elezaar the Dwarf is a small
man with big secrets - but that doesn't matter to Marla Wolfblade.
Her brother is the High Prince of Hythria, and, in this fiercely
patriarchal society, her fate will be decided on his whim. She
needs someone politically astute to guide her through the maze of
court politics - and Elezaar knows more than he is willing to
admit. As Elezaar teaches Marla the Rules of Gaining and Wielding
Power, Marla starts on the road to becoming a tactician and a wily
diplomat - but will that be enough to keep her son alive?
"Totally true and terrific ... had me in stitches to the brink of
addiction. She makes you wish you had daily scammers too .... the
scammers were so enamored by her smile they swallowed her
counter-scams like starving fish.... even that guy she tricked into
admitting he was a member of the order of M.O.R.O.N.S... and the
one who turned nasty with death threats A great gift for friends
this season " - "Author, Producer and Screen Writer, Anita Bell"
Bestselling author, Jennifer Fallon, made the mistake of listing
her relationship status on Facebook fan page as "widow," following
the passing of her husband in 2009. What followed was a veritable
avalanche of friendship requests from oddly named men, who all
seemed to work shipping or oil, wishing to start a relationship
based, apparently, on her devastatingly attractive publicity shot.
This book is the hilarious result of Jennifer's conversations with
these would-be scammers. Posing as characters diverse as the High
Priestess of the Church of St Sarcasm (where they worship
earthworms), a goat herder on the International Space Station, or
even Hilary Clinton speaking Klingon, Jennifer messes with these
catfishers like an evil cat playing with a mouse before dinner. Her
conversations will have you in stitches - and might save you or
someone you know from being caught in one of their scams.
"There are few authors, in my opinion, that do characters as well
as Jennifer Fallon. She makes them feel both real and natural. Each
has their own voice, distinct personality and a combination of
strengths and flaws. Furthermore, the "bad" characters still have
good qualities while the "good" characters are capable of doing
very bad things..." - Dragons, Heroes and Wizards Review Jennifer
Fallon is the author of 17 bestselling fantasy and science fiction
novels, 4 different series, numerous short stories, and has written
official tie-in stories for both Stargate SG1 and Zorro. She is
published in 6 languages (at last count), has worked with some of
the top editors and publishers in the industry (Tor, Orbit,
HarperCollins, Random House, etc) and has been teaching writing
master classes for the past 8 years. She has a Masters Degree in
Creative Writing, has been shortlisted for numerous awards, and has
worked in Adult Education for the past 20 years. She mentors young
writers and ran the Reynox International Writer's Retreat until it
was destroyed in the Christchurch Earthquakes of 2010. This book,
initially written as a companion to her Master Classes, is easy to
understand, written with humor and insight, and a must have for all
aspiring writers.
Marla Wolfblade is reeling from the loss of her closest confidant,
Elizaar the Fool, who taught her the Rules of Gaining and Wielding
Power, and helped shape her into a force in Hythria. But Marla's
plans for revenge are disrupted when she discovers she has a
dangerous adversary.... On the border, Fardohnya has massed its
troops for an invasion, and Marla's eldest son, Damin Wolfblade,
heir to the throne of Hythria, finds his ability to fight back is
thwarted by tradition, politics, and the foolishness of the High
Prince... Back in Krakandar, Mahkas Damaran awaits news of the
battle and has sealed the city against Damin's return. With the
city on the brink of starvation, it seems only theft on an
unprecedented scale can free Krakandar from Mahkas's madness and
tyranny... and destroy Hythria's web of secrets and lies.
When a Stargate malfunction throws Colonel Cameron Mitchell, Dr.
Daniel Jackson, and Colonel Sam Carter back in time, they only have
minutes to live. But their rescue, by an unlikely duo - General
Jack O'Neill and Vala Mal Doran - is only the beginning of their
problems.
