Monday, November 2, join us at 7:00 PM for an evening of fantasy with Ken Scholes and Kate Elliott. Ken's debut novel, Lamentation, received wide acclaim and was a Signed First Edition Pick for MG. Canticle: The Second Book of the Psalms of Isaak, returns readers to the science fantasy setting. Nine months after the end of the last book, birth, assassination, war, prophecy, intrigue and magic cause havoc in the Named Lands, set in Earth's far future in a time when magic works.

Traitors' Gate concludes the Crossroads trilogy, although readers will be pleased to learn it is not the final book Kate plans for that world. In Spirit Gate and Shadow Gate, the Guardians, gods of the world of the Hundred, have lost their hold over the world, resulting in chaos and destructive battles for power. Now, as the struggles for an uncertain and uneasy peace continue, a new threat arises from an unexpected source.

Many noble allies have come to the Ninefold Forest for a Feast in honor of General Rudolfo's first-born child. Jin Li Tam, his wife and mother of his heir, lies in childbed. As the feast begins, the doors of the hall fly open and invisible assassins begin attacking. All of Rudolfo's noble guests are slain, including Hanric, the Marsh Queen's Shadow. And on the Keeper's Gate, which guards the Named Lands from the Churning Waste, a strange figure appears, with a message for Petronus, the Hidden Pope. Thus begins the second movement of The Psalms of Isaak, "Canticle."
