Ghost Dance
Book 3 of The Ghost World Sequence
"Are you cold, my children? Are you cold?"
The young witch, Shingebiss, believes she can spell the Czar and make him save her beloved Northlands from destruction.
In her innocence, she little understands that the Imperial Palace is a place of treachery and murder, ruled by a madman with a mind like a broken mirror, reflecting all things crookedly.
At first the Czar takes Shingebiss for an angel, sent to him by God, and welcomes her. But none of her spells seem able to blunt his greed and cruelty.
Shingebiss has a rival at court who hates her -- the English wizard, Master Jenkins, who pretends to the Czar that he can summon demons.
Fearing that Shingebiss will unmask him, Master Jenkins plans to be rid of her. He tells the Czar that he can make him an Elixir of Immortality. The most potent ingredient is the blood of an angel.
The Czar orders the elixir made immediately.
Can Shingebiss save the Northlands?
Can she save her own life?
An intense, Gothic fantasy
REVIEWS
In Ghost Dance, Price transports us to the palace of a Czar whose avarice and suspicion are destroying the beautiful Northlands... Here again, the complete seriousness and integrity of the writing makes for a quietly terrifying read. Highly recommended.
Guinevere Vaughan
This third book of the sequence is still rich and deeply powerful. Its full of the physical awfulness of human existence and human fears and the magic of storytelling which veers between the safe and the dangerous, the fascinating and the uncomfortable.
