Overview

For Starka, an outcast priestess accused of incest, life is simple until a nightmare prophecy of the ascension of the Avatar of Darkness forces her to return to a world of intrigue and treachery. Pushed unwillingly into an epic journey with a priest who despises her, Starka finds allies in a mysterious warrior bent on protecting her, the last surviving members of two feuding nations, and a rebel wizard seeking revenge for his fallen comrades.

Faced with the sweeping onslaught of the Carrion Army led by Zion and his three murderous generals, time is running out. With each battle, the ranks of the Carrion swell with freshly-killed recruits. New terrors are constructed from the heights of the Great Watchtower. Ancient enemies must band together, Starka must survive the assassins within her own order, and prophecy must somehow be stopped. The price of failure is absolute destruction. The Ninth Avatar is coming.

Editorial Reviews

Bryce L Seak
Todd Newton has a great imagination and really does a good job of realizing that imagination through the story... [The book] is filled with great ideas which are apparent with each turn of the page.

Todd Newton has some amazing talent that I’m sure readers of fantasy will be coming across in the future.... It’ll be amazing to see what becomes of this talent and to see it channeled into future novels.

The Ninth Avatar is a very fast read that literally hits the ground running. From the very first page the reader is engulfed in the clash of arms…

John McDonald
The characters are well developed, unique, and intriguing. They are by no means two-dimensional cyphers, nor are they homogeneous in a way which might be seen as peculiar to the genre—they are complex, with elements of good and bad, dark and light, interwoven within the ethos of their quiddity—much as real-world beings are... It is a very readable book and will be consumed with relish by lovers of the genre. http://www.nyjournalofbooks.com/2010/05/ninth-avatar-by-todd-newton.html
