Child of a Dead God
by Barb & J. C. Hendee

For years, Magiere and Leesil have sought a long-forgotten artifact, even though its purpose has been shrouded in mystery. All Magiere knows is that she must keep the orb from falling into the hands of a murdering Noble Dead, her half-brother Welstiel. And now, dreams of a castle locked in ice lead her south, on a journey that has become nothing less than an obsession.

Accompanying Magiere and Leesil are the sage Wynn, their canine protector Chap, and two elven assassins-turned-guardians who must fight their distrust of this sister of the dead. For forces more powerful than they are rallying around Magiere, arming her for the conflict to come. Because finding the orb may be just the beginning of the challenges that await her...

Barb & J. C. Hendee's Bio

Barb & J. C. live south of Portland, Oregon, and about a hour from the coast. Barb’s earliest fiction works appeared in numerous genre magazines and anthologies, and J.C.’s poetry, non-fiction, and short fiction also appeared in many genre publications.

Although they have worked together as a writing team from their earliest days, the Noble Dead Saga (a.k.a. the Noble Dead Series) contains their first novel-length collaborations starting in 2003. Barb is also now well known for her separate Mist-Torn Witches series set in the same world.

Both are ex-academics with masters in English, have worked in academia as well as the private sector, and have taught multiple workshops, classes, and seminars related to fiction writing inside and outside of academia.
