The Song and the Sorceress

BOOKLIST: "This coming-of-age epic maintains its dramatic tension from the first scene...Vandervort's dynamic characters, surprising story turns, and unabashed romance will leave readers eager to follow the continued adventures of this sword-wielding princess." Journey with nineteen-year-old Ki'leah Alrhiane Del'Sivahr, who flees an isolated life as High Princess of Si'vad to run away with her lover, the Palace Bard. When he fails to meet her on the road, fate sweeps Ki'leah into an alliance with a band of men and women known as the Fey-Velahr, a select company sworn to destroy Lyarra, the dormant sorceress - one of the legendary Rahar, thought to have been eradicated from Sildehna centuries earlier - before she wakes to seek a devastating claim to the Northern Kingdom.

Desolate Places

The Priestess and the Slave

The Priestess and the Slave looks at the political turmoil of fifth century BC Greece through the eyes of two women, one a slave and one a farmer's daughter who became a Pythia in her fifties. The novella intertwines the stories of Perialla, the Pythia at Delphi who was bribed by the Spartan king Kleomenes around 491BC, and Harmonia, a slave looking after the family which owned her, during the devastating Plague of Athens (which broke out in the second year of the Peloponnesian War). The two women never meet, but their very different stories echo and complement one another. "A compelling blend of vivid storytelling and meticulous research. Fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable." --Alison Goodman, author of Eon: Dragoneye Reborn "Completely fascinating - a vivid and evocative glimpse into the life of the past, with its terrors and joys so strange and yet so familiar." -- Kate Forsyth, best-selling author of the Chain of Charms series, the Witches of Eileanan series, the Rhiannon's Ride series, and Full Fathom Five "It's such a joy to read a historical novel written by an author who has such authority over her material. Jenny Blackford's first novel The Priestess and the Slave brilliantly recreates the politics, culture, and mindset of ordinary and extraordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. I can only wait impatiently to discover what treasures her next novel will reveal."--Jack Dann, bestselling author of The Memory Cathedral, and The Silent.

Literature & Fiction

Blackford, Jenny

Contemporary

A tale of honor and dishonor, of love, pain, madness, and endurance, told with painstaking historical and archaeological accuracy. Set in Classical Greece in the fifth century BC, The Priestess and the Slave conveys the extraordinary history of the time through the eyes of two narrators - a Delphic Pythia deeply embroiled in the political turmoil earlier in the century, and a young slavewoman, some decades later, living through the terrible plague in Athens and the seemingly endless war against the invincible hoplites of Sparta. Vivid, gritty, and emotionally moving.
