Tess Noncoiré has two lives. A well-respected fantasy author
and regular Con attendee, she also fills her promised role as
a Celestial Blade Warrior in exchange for her family's
safety. Thank goodness the line can blur pretty far when
attending a con, any odd being who may pop up is just
considered to have a really great costume. And the Celestial
Blade (aka imp Scrap)? Not a problem when many convention
attendees carry some form of weaponry.
The Otherworld keeps bleeding over into the mundane;
however, the most recent incursion is by a dark elf, a
Nörglein who has settled into the heart of Portland's Forest
Park. It would be fine if he just relaxed into the ambiance,
but he has a
habit of stalking women and bespelling them into forgetting
his rape, only to collect the resulting Halfling a year
after its birth. Their first encounter doesn't go well, even
with the help of her sidekick imp, Scrap. Needing to heal
before confronting the Nörglein again, yet with time running
out before the evil bastard strikes again, Tess needs to
call on the two men she swore never to let back into her
life and approach the less-than-welcoming branch of her late
husband's family for help.
Told alternately through the eyes of Tess and those of
Scrap, FOREST MOON RISING is another fantastic book from P.
R. Frost. Her quirky murky world is built around the mists
of Portland, Oregon and dips below the surface of the
fantasy convention subculture. Book four in the series moves
the over arcing storyline along while introducing some
fascinating new characters who will play strong roles in
books to come. The Tess Noncoiré series has it all; a
great urban fantasy world structure, humor, heartbreak and
Frost's skillful writing style to keep readers coming back.
A brand-new Tess Noncoiré Adventure from "an innovative and
welcome new voice in urban fantasy" (*#1 New York Times
bestselling author Patricia Briggs).
Tess Noncoiré, successful fantasy writer and Celestial
Blade Warrior, has made a deal with the Powers That Be,
forfeiting her own dreams in order to save those nearest
and dearest to her. Having survived this unprecedented
experience, Tess, along with her imp Scrap, is determined
to hunt down a demonic intruder from another dimension, the
Norglein, who seems bent on ravishing young women, leaving
them pregnant, and waiting for the proper time to steal
their babies away for his own purposes.
