SUMMARY:Author Talk: Judith Starkston
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the book launch of Judith Starkston’s latest historical fantasy Flights of Treason. An evening in conversation with Eileen Reindahl at The Avid Reader Bookstore. May 14\, 6:30-7:30\, 617 2nd Street\, Davis\, CA \nAbout the book \nTreason threatens the thrones of the Hitolian Empire and the griffin realm. Can an unlikely ensemble of heroes save them? \nAs rulers of a vassal kingdom within the Hitolian Empire\, Tesha and her husband Hattu have propped up a treacherous Great King. But balancing on the blade of a royal dagger is only half the problem. Unknown to them\, Tesha’s blind sister is communicating with the king of the human-hating griffins. \nThen hidden foes tip their lives toward disaster\, and crises in both worlds collide. \nThe heroes fight battles with swords\, claws\, and sorcery. Will Tesha be forced to use the magic that might kill her daughter? Who truly unleashed these lethal strands of chaos? Will the empire—or Tesha’s family—survive? \nEscape into the final book of this historical fantasy series\, inspired by the true-life of a remarkable Hittite queen who ruled for decades over one of history’s most powerful empires. (Reads also as a standalone novel.) \n“Starkston wraps history and magic together in an unforgettable package.”—the Book Review Crew \nAbout the author \nJudith Starkston writes historical fantasy set in the Bronze Age world of Greeks and Hittites. Her five novels bring women to the fore—whether the Trojan War captive Briseis or a remarkable Hittite queen whom history forgot\, even though she ruled over one of the greatest ancient empires. She lives in Davis with her husband and a rambunctious garden. \n
