Blood and Bone by Ian C
Esslemont is available from Bantam (£8.99):
“In the western sky the bright
emerald banner of the Visitor descends like a portent of annihilation. On the
continent of Jacuruku, the Thaumaturgs have mounted yet another expedition to
tame the neighbouring wild jungle. Yet this is no normal wilderness. It is
called Himatan, and it is said to be half of the spirit-realm and half of the
earth. And it is said to be ruled by a powerful entity whom some name the Queen
of Witches, and some a goddess: the ancient Ardata. Saeng grew up knowing only
the rule of the magus Thaumaturgs — but it was the voices out of that land's
forgotten past that she listened to. And when her rulers mount an invasion of
the neighbouring jungle, those voices send her and her brother on a desperate
mission.”
