Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Two girls meet at a river that has kept their peoples apart for over a hundred winters. Next thing you know, there's a friggin' festival going on. Azaya is eight winters old, small for her age, and scribe to the Orra-Kai. She keeps a notebook, collects rocks, and talks to yaks as though they are people, which they seem not to mind. She has a mother who lost an arm protecting her, an older sister she is not related to, and a guard who is three hundred and seventy winters old. Yeah, it's complicated. Then she meets Rinna on the far bank and learns two things. That Rinna's people are the Hunters everyone has been afraid of since before anyone can remember. What follows is a friendship. There is no villain. Nothing is destroyed. Two children build a bridge because the river is in the way of playing, and the adults who spent generations failing to build one stand on the banks and watch it happen. Azaya and the Central Expanse is a slow, warm, character-led fantasy about kinship claimed rather than inherited. About mothers who did not give birth. Sisters who chose each other. And a prophecy that turns out to be fulfilled by shared meals and stubborn kindness rather than by anyone chosen. No romance. No peril. No one saves the world. Just the steppe, the food, the horses, and the people who decide to be family.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As the third book in the Streets of Skelderheim book series, Azaya and her sister, Rinna continue their adventures in the Central Expanse. The festival in the Khuuransh lands is going full swing, people are trading, and life seems pretty good, but under it all, Azaya still senses something's a miss.The festival has grown into something the size of a small city. Six hundred stalls, ten tribes, prayer flags strung between yurts and karukka on both banks of the river. Merchants want to make it permanent. Elder Kira wants to know who is going to run the dang thing.Azaya and Rinna spend their days the way eight-winter-old girls do. They learn fire meat from a Nominkhuu cook and yak jerky from two elder cooks who quietly begin sharing recipes. They sit with a Haan clothesmaker who explains how a coat is built and then sends them home with a gift worth half a season's wages. They ride out on the steppe with their friends, hunt deer, brush the yaks, and take one very memorable joyride on the back of a yak calf.Meanwhile, storytellers have arrived, and they have found their favorite subject: a Veil guard with one arm who saved a little girl on the docks at Eberhard. By the third telling, Lenne has slain a hundred warriors, her blade has a legendary name, and the Line itself reached down to heal her. Mothers start calling her Honorable Mother and holding their children out for her to touch. Lenne, who is twenty winters old and would mostly like her daughter to help with chores, has to work out how to be a mom and a legend at the same time.Azaya knows that feeling well. Inside Kira's camp, she and Rinna get to be girls. Outside it, they are the Altay, and a single sentence from either of them moves thousands of people. The adults around them are beginning to see how much they handed to two children, and Azaya is beginning to see how much of it she handed to a sister who wanted a friend and received a whole world instead.So Azaya does the thing that keeps catching everyone who loves her off guard. She asks for guidance from the one place that has held steady through all of it, and she asks for it formally, in front of both tribes, in a white robe with a gold belt. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Azaya returns in her fourth book, 'Azaya and the Keepers of the Gate,' along with her Kin-Sisters, Rinna, Keri, and Naanah for a new adventure in the streets of Skelderheim.What starts out as a return to normal life doesn't stay normal for long. From getting inducted into the city's oldest organization, Veil, finding out that the old rules don't work for them, to a wild horse ride through the city, chaos follows the sisters wherever they go.When Orra-Kai announces her pregnancy, it's a not-so-quick trip across the portal to East Bay, Maine, acclimation, adaptation, and a mindbending mystery that challenges the concepts of time and space that add up to one serious adventure!Now it's up to the Kin-Sisters to figure out how to unravel everything, and set time back to the way it was, and all before Orra-Kai drops her baby.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Charles Mandrake's condition turns critical on the Skelderheim steppe, Anna and Todd do the only thing they can. They bring him home. They return to East Bay with more than they left with. A Veil guard named Lenne, gravely wounded and running out of time. A five-year-old girl named Azaya who came off the Skelderheim docks with a bread board, a set of lock picks, and no intention of leaving the woman who fell protecting her. And questions about Myles Pibbles that have been waiting in the walls of the mansion on the hill since before any of them arrived. The answers surface the way Myles did everything. Quietly, and exactly where he intended them to be found. A locked room off the main hall holds a library built from two worlds. A private freight system runs beneath the entire city of Skelderheim. A radio in Finch's shop comes to life on a frequency nobody has touched in years. One by one, the people who have always been closest to them turn out to have always been exactly where they were meant to be. The third book in the Charles Mandrake arc is not about a world in crisis. It is about what gets built in the quiet, who it gets built for, and what happens when the people meant to inherit it finally start opening the right doors.It is also, unexpectedly, about a five-year-old who figures most of it out first.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On a late July day, Charles Mandrake in East Bay, Maine, a small coastal town where the days run on tides, weather, and routine. An old observatory sits on the property that everyone calls 'the Pibbles place.' It has been locked up for decades. Most people treat it like a landmark. Charles treats it like a problem.Inside, the place is still wired for work. There are consoles, binders, a shortwave radio annex, and a diesel generator that shouldn't be there if the observatory was only meant for stargazing. Then Charles finds the notes. Measurements. Warnings. A sequence of numbers written like a combination.With Anna Ko and Todd Baskerville, Charles begins restoring the observatory, but the work doesn't behave like a normal repair job. The more they fix, the more the system seems like a procedure waiting to be followed. Lights flicker at the same moments. The telescope mount rotates back to north on its own. A low hum settles into the floor when the generator takes load. And one small pilot lamp keeps glowing even when nothing else is powered.East Bay has plenty of opinions about the observatory, and most of them boil down to: leave it alone. Charles doesn't. The details don't add up. The equipment feels overbuilt. The notes feel too careful. And there are iron rings in the floor that have nothing to do with seeing stars.Myles Pibbles disappeared in 1969, and the town decided it was an accident. Charles isn't so sure. Not after what the logs suggest, and not after the observatory starts responding like it recognizes what they're doing.Whatever Myles built, it was never meant to look into the heavens.It was meant to look somewhere else.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - I'm heading to Klebber's Mercantiles and Imports to get a nine-day bag of coffee, come with me and I'll show you my city. Skelderheim sits on the Central Expanse and is a steppe city, but all sorts of people live and work here. We're in the Merchant's Ward where anything you could ever want or need is found. There are five official wards here, but this one's my home. I live above a bakery with my mom, and every morning we wake up to the delicious smell of fresh baked bread. Out on the streets, kids work alongside adults. I started off running messages and balance sheets from the merchant stalls up to the records offices, and then became a scribe. The funny thing is that the city depends on kids like me, but adults don't see what it costs us to keep the city moving. That is, until the Operator did. A kid keeled over in his office one day. Join me and learn the city as I go on runs, meet up with friends, have dinner with family, and go about life in the streets of Skelderheim.…
