Overview

Shadowbridge-a world of infinite linked spans that arch high above the glimmering seas, dreamed into being and inhabited by parading ghosts, clever tricksters, statues that speak, and dark, dangerous magic. Most of all, it is a world of stories-stories gathered and performed by Leodora, a young shadow-puppeteer who travels the spans of Shadowbridge. She does not yet realize that tales she collects might attract unwelcome attention...that there might be some creatures who do not want their stories told. With her small troupe-Soter, an elderly drunkard who once traveled in the company of Leodora's father, the famous Bardsham, and Diverus, who provides musical accompaniment for her performances-she will travel not only across new spans but toward a perilous destiny.

Reviews

""Frost (Fitcher's Brides) draws richly detailed human characters and embellishes his multilayered stories with intriguing creatures-benevolent sea dragons, trickster foxes, death-eating snakes and capricious gods-that make this fantasy a sparkling gem of mythic invention and wonder."" -Publishers Weekly ""A tough-minded novel that confronts some disturbing issues, and that is remarkably efficient in the telling, it also achieves a kind of Florentine grace and balance rare in modern fantasy, interpolating tales within tales, playing ingenious games with point of view, and offering more than a few passages of surpassingly lovely prose."" -Gary K. Wolfe, Locus Looks at Books A Romantic Times Reader's Choice Award nominee (2008)
