War for the Rose Throne

McLean P: Paved with Good Intentions / B

Paved with Good Intentions

A War for the Rose Throne novel

An incredible stand-alone epic fantasy from the breakthrough author of PRIEST OF LIES, perfect for fans of LONG LIVE EVIL and BEST SERVED COLD.

"Gangster, soldier, priest. Governor, knight, and above all, Queen's Man. Once, Tomas Piety looked after his men, body and soul, as best he could. Then those who ran his country decided his dark talents would better serve in the corridors of power. Crushed by the power of the Queen's Men and with the Skanian menace rising once more on the streets of Ellinburg, Tomas Piety is forced to turn to old friends, old debts and untrustworthy alliances. Meanwhile in the capital city of Dannsburg, Dieter Vogel is beginning to wonder if the horror he has unleashed in the Martyr's Disciples might be getting out of control. With revolution brewing and tragedy and terrorism running rife in the cities, Piety and Vogel must each weigh the cost of a crown."--

Gangster, soldier, priest, then governor, Queen's Man and now knight: but rebellion is stalking the streets and a crown may demand more than even Tomas Piety is prepared to pay.

Priest of Crowns

Tomas Piety has everything he ever wanted. In public he's a wealthy, highly respected businessman, happily married to a beautiful woman and governor of his home city of Ellinburg. In private, he's no longer a gang lord, head of the Pious Men, but one of the Queen's Men, invisible and officially non-existent, working in secret to protect his country. The queen's sudden death sees him summoned him back to the capital - where he discovers his boss, Dieter Vogel, Provost Marshal of the Queen's Men, is busy tightening his stranglehold on the country. Just as he once fought for his Pious Men, Tomas must now bend all his wit and hard-won wisdom to protect his queen - even when he can't always tell if he's on the right side. Tomas has started to ask himself, what is the price of power? And more importantly, is it one he is willing to pay?

Priest of Bones

"The first in an unmissable series, Priest of Bones is a fresh and compelling take on grimdark fantasy. Mashing together soldiers, gangsters, magic and war into a heady mix that is a hulking big brother to The Lies of Locke Lamora."--Anna Stephens, author of Godblind The war is over, and army priest Tomas Piety heads home with Sergeant Bloody Anne at his side. But things have changed while he was away: his crime empire has been stolen and the people of Ellinburg--his people--have run out of food and hope and places to hide. Tomas sets out to reclaim what was his with help from Anne, his brother, Jochan, and his new gang: the Pious Men. But when he finds himself dragged into a web of political intrigue once again, everything gets more complicated. As the Pious Men fight shadowy foreign infiltrators in the back-street taverns, brothels, and gambling dens of Tomas's old life, it becomes clear: The war is only just beginning.

Widely acclaimed as a novelist, here Nicola Griffith displays her power, precision, and clarity of thought in multiple modes and forms.
Known for her gorgeously supple prose that soars effortlessly over genre boundaries, Griffith is also an incisive essayist whose ground-breaking, data-driven work on gender bias in the literary ecosystem sparked self-searching conversations worldwide. In this heady mélange of essays, poems, art, and stories—some seen here for the first time—the author makes foundational assertions about love versus ownership (“Wife”), advocates for the writer as explorer (“Branding: It Burns”), and points out the gaping hole in our literary landscape where we’d expect to find disability fiction (“Overwriting the Old Story”). These and other public-facing essays are followed by four powerfully intimate poems. Returning to prose, Griffith immerses us so seamlessly in her viscerally imagined fiction that we feel how it is to be hurled like light through the stars in “Glimmer,” hunted through the urban alleys of “Cold Wind” during a holiday blizzard, swept along irresistible currents of “Down the Path of the Sun,” and, in “Many Things in Dumnet,” a novella published here for the first time, brought ashore as a stranger to land where something is very wrong.
Finally, “Otherwise Unremarkable,” series editor Nisi Shawl's interview with the author, teases out sometimes startling and always satisfying answers to questions on power, activism, immigration, cognitive poetics, and art.

NOW THE TICK WITCH HAS COME HOME For New Orleans witchkin, there is no greater honor than to become the Prime-chosen to rule. But the title is meant to pass between two rival Houses of magic. Not to the prodigal daughter of the former Prime who died under mysterious circumstances. As a girl, Seraphine Barreau was dubbed the Tick Witch for her ability to feed on magic and make it her own. Even among those who alter fate and manipulate reality, she was a powerful outcast feared and misunderstood by her people. Now dragged back to continue the legacy that nearly destroyed her, Phine has her work cut out for her. She must earn the respect of her people, navigate the politics of the paranormal communities residing in her city, and heal a broken heart all the while battling a parasitic curse poisoning witchkin. Between her werewolf ex, power-hungry vampires, and the skeletons in her family's closet, Phine must learn to make peace with her past to save her-and all of witchkin's-future. **** TROPES: Sexy Creatures of the Night Dark Magic Body Horror Witchy Vibes Vampirism Creole Heritage Coming of Age

INTRODUCING YOUR NEXT FANTASY OBSESSION: A Witch fated to rise. A truce about to crumble. An unlikely duo willing to risk it all for revenge. **** PHINE WAS BORN OF THE BAYOU... NOW THE TICK WITCH HAS COME HOME Presided over by their Prime, New Orleans witch clans have hidden in plain sight for centuries. With her unique power, Seraphine Barreau should have been the Witches crowning jewel, instead she was their shameful secret, shunned for her syphoning ability and forced to flee the city. When the former Prime dies, the mantle unexpectedly passes to Phine, and the Tick Witch is summoned home. Dragged back into the simmering tension of New Orleans' supernatural underbelly, Phine attempts to sort through the shattered pieces of her past, while maintaining the truce between the blood-thirsty Vampires, the reality altering Sidhe, and the Shifters, led by her former lover. When the source of their magic is cursed by a parasitic blight, witchkin, living and dead, turn on Phine. As war with the Vampires spills blood onto the streets of New Orleans, Phine allies herself with the terrifying Queen of Nightmares and heads into the depths of the bayous to find answers. Together, these two magical abominations will make people rue the day they crossed the Tick Witch. **** TROPES: Sexy Creatures of the Night Dark Magic Body Horror Witchy Vibes Vampirism Creole Heritage Coming of Age
