The Shadow Saga continues with in this “fun, fast, action-packed novel” of magic, mystery, and monstrous evil (Elitist Book Reviews). After helping his lover Josephine lay claim to the throne of Nimea, the assassin Caim has ventured north to the land that has haunted his dreams—cold, unforgiving Eregoth. He departs seeking answers to his parents’ murder and hoping that this knowledge will explain his ability to bend the shadows to his will. In searching for his past, Caim wanders into war. But Eregoth is threatened by a power more terrifying than any army—the witch Sybelle, Queen of the Dark. If given the chance, her aims at destruction would not cease at Eregoth but storm through Nimea where Josey struggles to secure her reign. With nothing more than a force of ragtag warriors at his side, Caim knows that standing against Sybelle’s onslaught may be suicide. But as a son of the Shadow, he has no choice but to fight. Even if every life he takes brings him closer to the blackness that would claim him body and soul...

Frank, acute, and intimate poems of human loss, resilience, and love – detective poem, historical hopscotch, love story “A truly lyrical longing for the world to be transformed.”—Polish Book Institute Różycki collects moments of illumination – a cat dashing out of a window and "feral sun" streaking in, a body planting itself in the ground like rhubarb and flowering. He collects and collects, opens a crack, and clutches a shrapnel of epiphany. Tomasz Różycki's To the Letter follows Lieutenant Anielewicz on the hunt for any clues that might lead 21st century human beings out of a sense of despair. With authoritarianism rising across Eastern Europe, the Lieutenant longs for a secret hero. At first, he suspects some hidden mechanism afoot: fruit tutors him in the ways of color, he drifts out to sea to study the grammar of tides, or he gazes at the sun as it thrums away like a timepiece. In one poem, he admits "this is the story of my confusion," and in the next the Lieutenant is back on the trail. "This lunacy needs a full investigation," he jibes. He wants to get to the bottom of it all, but he's often bewitched by letters and the trickery of language. Diacritics on Polish words form a "flock of sooty flecks, clinging to letters" and Lieutenant Anielewicz studies the tails, accents, and strokes that twist this script. While the Lieutenant can't write a coherent code to solve life's mysteries or to fill the absence of a country rent by war, his search for patterns throughout art, philosophy, and literature lead not to despair but to an affirmation of the importance of human love

I invite you to witness the emergence of a poet and let yourself be taken by my Plight of Grievance. This is the first anthology of poetic tragedies which recollects a journey through my evolution as a poet and artist. Long since I can remember I always had a contrastive way of interpreting life, love, hate, religion, and politics. It was in high school where I developed an inner voice that engulfed me with a plethora of monochromatic ideologies and artistic visions. Poetry was one of the strongest methods of journaling what thoughts roamed inside my mind. It is through the WolfSaint Chronicles, where I hope to begin a long legacy of poetry encased with a few hand drawn illustrations as well. The word WolfSaint was created to describe two different parts of me. The saint describes me, and the person that I currently am; a father of two, husband to a beautiful wife, and a dedicated worker. The wolf side is the silent artist, and writer that only a few people know me as. The poems in the beginning of the book are raw and unsettling. Channeling thoughts to words and poetic rhymes were difficult at first. Yet over a period of time and hundreds of verses, the flow of each poem became more fluent and visually comprehensible. Perhaps there will be other plights that I will be inspired to write in the future yet, for now I will leave you these verses to get to know the real WolfSaint.

An exciting collection of poetry inspired by life’s most engrossing themes such as love and pain, solitude and reflection, arrivals and departures, and the tenuous threads that make up everyday life, from AA Patawaran, Manila Bulletin Lifestyle editor and bestselling author of Write Here Write Now.
