<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Once, all power in the Vin Lands was held by the prince-mages, who alone could craft spellwines, and who selfishly used them to their own gain. Now, fourteen centuries after a demigod shattered the Vine, it is the humble Vinearts who know the secret of crafting spells from wines, the source of magic, and they are prohibited from holding power. But a new darkness is rising in the vineyards, and only one Vineart, Master Malech, senses the coming danger"--Back cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Hailed as something wholly new and extraordinary in starred reviews from <i>Library Journal </i>and <i>Publishers Weekly, </i>Laura Anne Gilman's <i>Flesh and Fire </i>is as intoxicating as the finest of wines--and as powerful as magic itself. <p/>Once, all power in the Vin Lands was held by the prince-mages, who alone could craft spellwines, and who selfishly used them to their own gain. Now, fourteen centuries after a demigod shattered the Vine, it is the humble Vinearts who know the secret of crafting spells from wines, the source of magic, and they are prohibited from holding power. <p/>But a new darkness is rising in the vineyards, and only one Vineart, Master Malech, senses the coming danger. He has but one weapon to use against it: a young slave named Jerzy, whose origins are unknown, even to him. Yet his uncanny sense of the Vinearts' craft offers a hint of greater magics within--magics that Malech must cultivate in his new apprentice before time runs out. For if Jerzy cannot unlock the secrets of the spellwines, the Vin Lands will surely be destroyed.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A fresh and creative fantasy -- you'll never look at a bottle of Chardonnay the same way again!" -- Karen Miller, bestselling author of the Kingmaker, Kingbreaker duology<br><br>"Gilman has created a world that feels lived-in, real, and above all interesting." -- "New York Times" bestselling author S.
