Kreindia of Amorium — Ben Parris

NEW THREATS TO BYZANTIUM... Wade of Aquitaine's troubles are just beginning when his female counterpart from the ninth century is claimed as the daughter of Wade's twenty-first century adversary. Young Kreindia of Amorium, gifted with her own concentration of synesthesia-fueled powers, has uncovered new threats to Byzantium, and specifically her uncle, Michael Psellus, who sits accused of treason while Wade finds himself in a different century defending the Holy Roman Empire on his own. By now the fellow synesthetes are bound up in an emotional destiny in which Kreindia and Wade encounter unforeseen challenges that could make their separation-and thus the future of their universes-all the more perilous. JOIN KREINDIA OF AMORIUM Born under the curse of time-blindness in the 8th century, her mind instead drift-samples other dimensions allowing her to spy through the tattered astral plane. That's how she senses the presence of a far more powerful synesthete who wants no rivals. It is up to Kreindia without Wade to navigate the corrupted branches of time to restore them before history itself collapses. "Agile prose enlivens an already heady narrative...An exhilarating time-travel tale hits a bullseye." KIRKUS REVIEWS "If I were to make a prediction, it is that Wade of Aquitaine has to be made into a motion picture." THE AMAZING KRESKIN "Ben Parris understands the challenge that a writer has, to write sentences that nobody ever wrote before." GEORGE CLAYTON JOHNSON
