"CHAN HAS CREATED A FABULOUS NEW WORLD FOR SCI-FI LOVERS TO EXPLORE... BETWEEN TWO WORLDS BY D.A. CHAN IS A GRIPPING AND DESCRIPTIVE TALE." - FOREWORD REVIEWS DEATHLESSNESS HAS CONSEQUENCES. In Chris' case, it is his allegiance to the Dawnbringers - one of the ruling houses of the ancient city of Demos Geras, whose daughter he has grown to love. But there is a traitor from the capital, one whose plans involve the murder of the ruling houses to plunge all of kindredkind into war. Born to kindred nobility, Elline's life is one of duty and responsibility; and her betrothal to the Magister of Demos Geras might prove to be the saving grace in the coming chaos. But when she become responsible for Chris' death and life thereafter, she cannot deny her growing affections for him as well. With imminent danger ahead, Chris must choose to either pursue his love for Elline or preserve the peace between man and kindred, while Elline must decide to fulfill her vow to the Council before her feelings for Chris cause her to forsake her birthright. "Chan expertly brings to life the strange world of the kindred people... with weavers that can either manipulate emotions or space and time and blade dancers that use the wind to sense the smallest detail of their surroundings, battle scenes are rife with detail and excitement." - FOREWORD REVIEWS "A fantasy that incorporates elements of romance and straightforward action with consistently punchy prose... Chronicles is a good bet for hardcore fantasy fans and offers interesting moments for aficionados of other genres as well." - BLUEINK REVIEW "The concept of Between Two Worlds is rather innovative as a combination of the fantasy and romance genres with a hint of political drama." - PORTLAND BOOK REVIEW "The constant time jumps through the first half of the book kept me on my toes... I look forward to reading from Mr. Chan in the future." - SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW

This Palgrave Pivot explores the representation of sea kings, sinners, and saints in the mid-thirteenth century Chronicles of the Kings of Man and the Isles, the single most important text for the history of the kingdoms of Man and the Isles, c.1066-1300. The focus of the Chronicles on the power struggles, plots and intrigues within the ruling dynasties of Man and the Isles offers an impressive array of heroes and villains. The depiction of the activities of heroic sea kings like Godred Crovan, tyrannical usurpers like Harald son of Godred Don, and their concubines and wives, as well as local heroes like Saint Maughold, raises important questions concerning the dynamic interactions of power, gender and historical writing in the medieval Kingdoms of Man and the Isles, and provide new insights into the significance of the text that is our most important source of information on these ‘Forgotten Kingdoms’ of the medieval British Isles.

A finalist for the 2020 Thurber Prize for American Humor! "The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead" in this big-hearted, boundlessly beautiful romp through the Apocalypse, where a foul-mouthed crow is humanity's only chance to survive Seattle's zombie problem (Karen Joy Fowler, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author). S.T., a domesticated crow, is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. "those idiots"), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos ®. But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to think something's not quite right. His tried-and-true remedies—from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of Big Jim's loyal but dim-witted dog, Dennis—fail to cure Big Jim's debilitating malady. S.T. is left with no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a wild and frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis, where he suddenly discovers that the neighbors are devouring one other. Local wildlife is abuzz with rumors of Seattle's dangerous new predators. Humanity's extinction has seemingly arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a cowardly crow whose only knowledge of the world comes from TV. What could possibly go wrong? Includes a Reading Group Guide.
