front-cover-400Light Messages Publishing is pleased to announce that advance copies for review are now available for our upcoming release of White Raven: The Sword of Northern Ancestors, available in stores July 30, 2012.

This exciting fantasy novel tells the story of Prince Vraigo, a young hero who must protect the land of his people from monstrous creatures trying to take over. With the aid of Urart, the magical sword that has been passed down from the time of the ancient northern ancestors, Grand Duke Vlady can offer temporary protection to his people. But Prince Vraigo, Vlady's nephew, who is endowed with magical power himself, understands that the source of the evil monsters must be found if there's any hope of survival.

When Urart is stolen, the kingdom of Areya is doomed. Only Vraigo, the White Raven, can possibly get the sword back. This journey requires Vraigo to use all of his keen wits and magical abilities, as well as to ally himself to dangerous creatures like yagas and werewolves, natural enemies of man, and precipitates the young prince into the most bewildering, complex challenge he has faced yet: life in the twenty-first century.

White Raven: The Sword of Northern Ancestors is the debut novel of Russian author, Irina Lopatina. Ms. Lopatina is available for interviews, guest posts, and author events. Please contact the publisher for details.

From a spontaneous birthday party, to a drumming concert in the trees, to a scare in the swamp, cheerful Ryska, timid Zaya, and adventurous Tuk play, learn, and grow together in their beloved forest.

“Beautifully illustrated, there is a sense of faraway places and gentle friendships in the pictures of Ryska, her friends and the enchanted Frog Forest. Following their adventures, we learn about them and their inquisitive love for life.”
