The Guild of the Cowry Catchers by Abigail Hilton
Imagine a darker, more adult Narnia, populated by complex, morally
ambiguous characters on a high seas adventure. The Guild of the Cowry
Catchers is a nautical fantasy for anyone who loves George R. R. Martin,
Stephen R. Donaldson, or Robin Hobb.
The characters inhabit a
chain of island kingdoms called Wefrivain. The kingdoms' querulous lords
are united only by religion, a wyvern cult ruled by an eccentric High
Priestess. The Temple is under attack by a gang of pirates, known as the
Guild of the Cowry Catchers. They’ve been preying on Temple treasure
ships. The Temple Police charged with eradicating this menace keep
disappearing.
Enter Gerard, a young prince who was exiled from
his small island kingdom for marrying the court minstrel. Chosen by the
High Priestess as the new Captain of Police, Gerard is smart, honorable,
and a little naïve. To break the pirate ring, he must cooperate with a
wily, amoral admiral—who has already tried to kill him twice.
As
Gerard struggles to protect his talented wife, obey his seductive
employer, and forge a complicated friendship with his dangerous
coworker, he becomes increasingly aware that the pirates have a
legitimate quarrel with the wyverns. Dark secrets lurk in the Temple
dungeons, and solving them will cost Gerard far more than his honor.
This
is an illustrated series for grown-ups. It includes beautiful,
whimsical artwork, because adults deserve pretty pictures, too. However,
the explicit elements of the story escalate as the series progresses.
There are sexual scenes and situations in these books, as well as types
of violence not usually found in children’s books. These books are not
intended for children or young teens.
This 50,000-word book is
DRM-free and carefully formatted. It includes 11 character portraits, 12
full-page illustrations, and 2 versions of the map (one optimized for
color and one for black and white). Cowry Catchers looks beautiful on a
black-and-white viewer, but you should open this eBook on a color screen
to fully appreciate the illustrations. Learn more about the series on
the author's website at www.cowrycatchers.com.
The Book of Biff by Chris Halbeck

solitary life in a world that he appears to have all to himself. Not a
single word is spoken and no other soul is seen.

explores alternate uses for hand puppets, the proper use of an electric
tennis ball and the importance of keeping your immovable object dry.
