"It's the end of an Ice Age. Attu, a young hunger, and Rika, a healer, race with their clans across the melting ocean ice to the safety of a promised land known to them only in stories and visions. As they flee, spirits of the Icy Expanse stalk them and ferocious beasts hunt them, while a rogue leader plots murder. With only bone spears, stone knives, and their belief in the power of dreams. Attu and Rika vow to save their people, even if it means they must sacrifice their own future together."-- cover.

A raven and the sense of growing evil. The Clans have made it to the Rock of the Ancients. Surrounded by the green abundance of their new world, they should feel safe now... But Attu and Rika are dreaming again. Fire surrounds Attu and he must paddle through it. And who is the mourning woman Rika sees? All the wisdom of the Seers can't stop Attu's people from feeling that something very bad is about to happen. Have they reached the safety of land only to be threatened by something even more dangerous than ice bears and melting ocean? Blooded Ground is book two of the Clan of the Ice Mountains series, set in the prehistoric exciting world of Breakaway: Clan of the Ice Mountains.

Beyond Belief is the fourth and final book in the acclaimed Clan of the Ice Mountain saga. This action/adventure series follows a group of post Ice Age people, led by the young leader, Attu, as they race off the melting ice and into the new world of the continent, a world filled with new animals, people, and challenges. Beginning with Breakaway: Clan of the Ice Mountains, where the Clan is attacked by ice bears as they flee to safety, the series continues with Blooded Ground, where Attu's people meet the Ravens, a group of blood-thirsty Northwest natives who want them for slaves. Next is Broken Rock Bay, where Atu's Clan flees north and meets the whaling Nukeena, people they choose to save and befriend. The final book, Beyond Belief, introduces bow and arrow technology and the domestication of dogs, as well as the meeting of roving bands of killers, booted from Clans Attu's people soon discover are related to them, speaking a similar language, but much changed from their many generations off the ice. This is a coming of age story, filled with action, suspense and a bit of romance. Inuit mythology plays a role, as does the mystical beliefs and ESP-like "Gifts" these people possess, making the series appeal to those who also like fantasy.

The curse warns everyone who seeks for the treasure that the Viking King, who brought the gold and riches to North America for its safe keeping, will ride upon his black horse, with a wind of snow and ice, and will kill anyone who dares disturb his gold. Once again Marc will be faced with battling an inhuman evil and tasked to protect Angela and her young daughter from forces beyond the realm of reality. Or is there a more sinister evil at work here, the evil of human greed and lust that will hold true for greed to be the root of all human evil.

Evil from the past will rise to the present to battle Good once again.

"Will put Allen in the company of writers such as James Joyce, August Wilson, and Ralph Ellison." —The Philadelphia Inquirer When it was first published fifteen years ago, Jeffery Renard Allen's debut novel, Rails Under My Back, earned its author comparisons to some of the giants of twentieth-century modernism. The publication of Allen's equally ambitious second novel, Song of the Shank, cemented those lofty claims. Now, the book that established his reputation is being restored to print in its first Graywolf Press edition. Together, the two novels stand as significant achievements of twenty-first-century literature. Rails Under My Back is an epic that tracks the interwoven lives of two brothers, Lucius and John Jones, who are married to two sisters, Gracie and Sheila McShan. For them, their parents, and their children, life is always full of departures; someone is always fleeing town and leaving the remaining family to suffer the often dramatic, sometimes tragic consequences. The multiple effects of the comings and goings are devastating: These are the almost mythic expression of the African American experience in the half century that followed the Second World War. The story ranges, as the characters do, from the city, which is somewhat like both New York and Chicago, to Memphis, to the West, and to many "inner" and "outer" locales. Rails Under My Back is a multifaceted, brilliantly colored, intensely musical novel that pulses with urgency and originality.

By the author of Black Narcissus. 'Her craftsmanship is always sure; her understanding of character is compassionate and profound; her prose is pure, delicate, and gently witty' New York Times Harriet is caught between two worlds: her older sister is no longer a playmate, her brother is still a little boy. And the comforting rhythm of her Indian childhood - the sounds of the jute factory, the colourful festivals that accompany each season and the eternal ebb and flow of the river on its journey to the Bay of Bengal - is about to be shattered by a tragic event. Intense, vivid, and with a dark undertow, The River is a poignant portrait of the loss of a young girl's innocence.
