Spiral Path

by Katharine Eliska Kimbriel

Overview

"The world is woven of secrets."

I was born with lightning in one hand and mercy in the other, but what I need is the pattern to my tapestry of power.

Danger drove me from the primeval American wilderness to Windward Academy, where the Wizard of Manhattan offers me one last chance to learn magical control. Windward--where every word, every breath is a test. Every lesson can be deadly. And every challenge can explode out of the schoolroom and into the realms of demons.

Sometimes a shadow is so dark it arrives before the sun.

About the Author

A John W. Campbell Award nominee for her first novel, Katharine Eliska Kimbriel has always loved fantasy and science fiction best. Growing up in the Midwest, she spent a lot of time in the Michigan woods, and calls the shores of Lake Michigan home, though she lives in Texas. Her SF and fantasy books are very different, but she always delivers interesting characters who care. In the future she promises tales about new things she has learned, and still hopes to learn . . . with grace notes about betrayal, forgiveness, healing, and second chances.

Katharine Eliska Kimbriel is author of the Night Calls series (Night Calls, Kindred Rites, & Spiral Path) and The Chronicles of Nuala (Fires of Nuala, Hidden Fires, & Fire Sanctuary). She has published with HarperCollins and with Warner books.

Editorial Reviews

"...enjoy the total immersion in Kimbriel's alternate early America"

Publishers Weekly - Staff Reviewer

"...SPIRAL PATH...is about finding yourself, even if the person you are consists of layers within layers without end . . . a spiral path indeed. Bottom line: SPIRAL PATH was most definitely worth the wait, and is a worthy addition to the outstanding Night Calls series."

Shiny Book Review - Barb Caffrey

"Much of the adventure here is the adventure of boarding school with a magical twist, but there are other things going on in the background, and Allie can no more avoid trouble than she can avoid breathing. She's just far too intelligent, inquisitive, and brave, not to mention impetuous. This is a lot of fun. Recommended."

Lis Carey's Library - Lis Carey

"...once in a very great while I find something I wish I'd read thirty years before it was ever published. ... These books do not let you rest."

Sleeping Hedgehog - Jennifer Stevenson

"Magic and treason form a deadly maze for Alfreda, one of my favorite heroes, returning to public life in one of my favorite fantasy series. It's alternate early America; Alfreda is savvy to the life and magic of the forest, the rivers, and winter, but powers know she is alive and able, to be recruited or destroyed."
