I'm very pleased to announce that Through Immortal Shadows Singing, my epic novella in poetry, is now available for preorder from
Amazon,
Barnes and Noble, and many other retailers!
And by epic, I do mean epic - the 170 pages do include a table of contents and things like that, but this is about 167 pages of poetry.
Here's the blurb:
Maligned for her beauty, cursed for her role in causing a war, she has rarely been given her chance to tell her tale. Now Helen of Troy's voice breaks free, offering a new vision in this epic lyrical sequence that follows her journey from Sparta to Troy, from earth to hell, and back. A stunning debut novella from Mari Ness, THROUGH IMMORTAL SHADOWS SINGING will transform your view of Helen and the Trojan War, in a soaring poem of love and war, healing and pain, hatred and triumph.
I had huge problems trying to pick a quote from the book, but here's two small tastes of the poetry inside:
I walk, knowing that the queen of death
may name me sister, that the
cry of the hunt
shares my blood, that I share a father
with the Fates.
#
Bone on silver,
silver on bone,
the sound of a harp
the memory of dream.
Available April 25.
