First Time in One Mass Market Volume, Two Novels in an Acclaimed
Fantasy Adventure Series: Seeker's Mask and To Ride a Rathorn. Jame
at Wizard School. Harry Potter--She is Not.
Two epic novels of fantasy adventure in one volume:
Seeker's Mask: After an epic adventure that will become the stuff
of legend, Jame has been reunited with her older brother Torisen and
with her people, the Kencyrath. But when she is placed in the Women's
Halls and expected to become a normal, quiet Kencyr lady, normal and
quiet are not what the Women's Halls are going to get. Shadow Guild
Assassins, ghosts, and other strange beings are soon after her, sprung
not only from her own adventurous past but from the tragic, mysterious
events that nearly annihilated her family in her father's time.
To Ride a Rathorn: Jame's adventures continue as she arrives at
the randon military college Tentir to face cut-throat competition and
find even more buried, poisonous family secrets. The Kencyr have a
phrase, "to ride a rathorn," referring to a task too dangerous either to
accomplish or to give up. This is true for Jame both figuratively, given
her military career in a college which no Highborn girl has ever
attended before, and literally, in that she is being stalked by one of
these murderous, ivory-clad creatures whose mother she killed and who is
now after her blood.
All in all, Jame's school days are shaping up to be anything but golden.
"P.C. Hodgell writes the most strikingly weird and wonderful stories in
epic fantasy today."--Charles Stross
"Hodgell has crafted an excellent and intricate fantasy with humor and
tragedy, and a capable and charming female hero. Highly recommended."
--Library Journal
