Stormlord Rising out in the US!

Glenda Larke’s The Last Stormlord came out in March of this year to great acclaim. Reviewers called it:

“Another contender (for the title of best fantasy writer alive today) must be Glenda Larke, with the first book in a new trilogy, The Last Stormlord…The society is complex, believable and intriguing, and the characters, from the palaces to the gutters, are fleshed out with unusual care. You’ll be waiting for the next book.”  ―West Weekend Magazine, Western Australia, 19th December 2009

“What a tale! Can’t wait for the next installment. This is a GREAT book.” ―AurealisXpress, Aug 2009

“…a bold, inventively original world…a sweeping saga that unmistakably marks her as one of Australia’s best speculative fiction writers.”     ―Nexus, Issue 259, Dec 2009

The second book in the trilogy, Stormlord Rising, is equally brilliant to the first and has already garnered advance praise in the author’s native Australia:

“Stormlord Rising is possibly the best Book Two of a series I have ever read…” Australian Speculative Fiction in Focus, May 2010

“Larke’s many fans will be delighted by the complex plot and intriguing twists that augur well for the next book. In fact, Stormlord Rising will appeal to anyone who enjoys a well written fantasy. There are very few books that I find literally impossible to put down, but like its predecessor, The Last Stormlord, Stormlord Rising was one.” The Specusphere, March 2010
