Romilly Winter is no ordinary heroine, just a reluctant one. She
has a gift. She can see the future. But can she see far enough? The
world in which she lives is under attack - the dead are rising, and
evil follows her at every turn. Will she be able to save herself -
and the world?" From the Diary of Romilly Winter, October 14th.
"I've had two years to prepare for this. In that time, I have never
told a soul. Of course, my Nan knew. She'd bequeathed me the
mirror, after all. Now, maybe tonight, tomorrow, in a few days, the
event that I don't want to happen with all my heart, will come to
pass. I'm not ready. I know I'm not ready, and yet, it will happen
nonetheless. Nan had this thing in her possession for nearly
seventy years. She had told me I simply had to be at Rosewinter,
prior to my sixteenth birthday no matter what objections my parents
raised. She said I was 'special', and was the only one equipped to
deal with what was coming. The problem is, I don't feel special, I
just feel...different, and in all probability, that isn't going to
be good enough. In just two days time, I will be sixteen years old,
and if anything my Nan said is remotely true, I will be lucky to
survive that long...." AUTHOR NOTES: Not for the very youngest of
readers.
A New Orthography by Serhiy Zhadan is the fifth volume in Lost
Horse Press’s Contemporary Ukrainian Poetry Series. In these
poems, the poet focuses on daily life during the Russo-Ukrainian
war, rendering intimate portraits of the country’s residents as
they respond to crisis. Zhadan revives and revises the role of the
nineteenth-century Romantic bard, one who portrays his community
with clarity, preserving its most precious aspects and darkest
nuances. The poems investigate questions of home, exile, solitude,
love, and religious faith, making vivid the experiences of
noncombatants, refugees, soldiers, and veterans. This collection
will be of interest to those who study how poetry observes and
mirrors the shifts within a country during wartime, and it offers
solace as well.
