Author Signing
Evan Dicken, author of the Iuchiban duology as well as the epic fantasy tale To Chart the Clouds, will be at the booth (#455) at 1:00pm on Friday, August 4, to sign all three of his Legend of the Five Rings novels from Aconyte Books.
In his Iuchiban duology, something is wrong in the Emerald Empire. The emperor is ailing, the court is weak and the Great Clans threaten to escalate their petty squabbling into all-out war. But in the shadows, another threat lurks—sinister Bloodspeaker cults attempt to resurrect the forgotten sorcerer Iuchiban, who possesses a power so great it could destroy all of Rokugan.
In To Chart the Clouds, diligent yet unappreciated clerk Miya Isami develops a new triangulation technique for map-making, but her traditionalist superiors at the Imperial Cartographic Bureau heap scorn upon her. When her novel approach exposes a swathe of missing land on the border between Scorpion and Lion Clan territories, Isami stumbles onto something far more significant than a mere mapping error…
