Synopsis

A New York Times Notable Book and Hugo and Nebula Award Finalist: This epic chronicle of ten immortals over the course of history “succeeds admirably” (The New York Times).    The immortals are ten individuals born in antiquity from various cultures. Immune to disease, able to heal themselves from injuries, they will never die of old age—although they can fall victim to catastrophic wounds. They have walked among mortals for millennia, traveling across the world, trying to understand their special gifts while searching for one another in the hope of finding some meaning in a life that may go on forever.   Following their individual stories over the course of human history and beyond into a richly imagined future, “one of science fiction’s most revered writers” (USA Today) weaves a broad tapestry that is “ambitious in scope, meticulous in detail, polished in style” (Library Journal).

    Even the afterlife gets decided in a committee. 
    The afterlife is more like a large retirement community than a fiery pit where even collecting souls has been automated. Death has nothing on his to-do list until his co-worker, the Devil, tells him she’s retiring. For years he’s relied on her to keep the ever-growing population of Patala running smoothly. After five hundred years he needs to replace the most important woman in his life. 
    To avoid mutiny from the residents (and having to do anything), he forms a politically charged search committee. An increasingly absent Death fidgets as the process drags out for over a year. When the worn-out incumbent’s unstable powers cause a magical blackout, Death fears the living world will be overrun by the dead. Now desperate to fill the position with a fresh recruit, Death needs to make a decision.  
    The only good thing is that the hiring process can’t kill him. 
    If you like clever takes on familiar characters, rich worlds, and seeing Death suffer then you’ll love S.R. Marks’ sarcastic take on the afterlife. 
    Time has almost run out for Death, but not for you to read Help Wanted: New Devil, the first book in The Enduring fantasy series.

    Kala’s world is set aflame by Soren, a self-declared child of the winds, who was ripped from his family and sent in an airship to the harsh northern steppes. To assuage his anger, Soren has raised an army to destroy the world and every airship in it. 
    The Church fans the flames, hoping to usher in a cleansing apocalypse and return the world to a garden-like state before humanity can destroy itself and the planet the way the Ancients almost did. The Kala is prophesied to raise an army to oppose Soren, thereby obliterating each other and accomplishing the Church’s dark goals. 
    As the mismatched confrontation looms, Kala fears the Priestess’s prediction… that her friends love her enough to die for her. 
    With captivating characters and absorbing plot, this mesmerizing fantasy series explores impossible odds, the gravity of destiny, and the power of friendship.
