About the Series:
DREAMS OF THE DARK SKY (Night Shade Books; February 5, 2019; $25.99) is the highly anticipated second novel in Tina LeCount Myers’s gritty epic fantasy series, The Legacy of the Heavens, set in an unforgiving, arctic world.
Inspired by Scandinavian indigenous cultures, DREAMS OF THE DARK takes place during the aftermath of a devastating clash between gods and men, where two unlikely allies—one immortal and one human—must band together to survive.
“My Finnish grandfather told me stories about fighting in World War II,” Myers says. “About hiding in the snowy forests for weeks and how it felt like he’d entered another world. My fascination with this other world hounded me until I began to write this series.”
A few years ago, Tina received a letter from her cousin Björn in Finland: “I am writing to you about your grandparent’s grave,” the letter began. “My father and uncles paid it the last time, but they are gone. Do you have any interest to come to Finland some time? The summer is best on the island as you probably remember. Your picture is on the wall with your grandfather and grandmother.”
Writing the series led Tina on an incredible journey to reconnect with her Finnish family and the land of her mother’s birth. Inspired by her family’s homeland, Tina set The Song of All and DREAMS OF THE DARK SKY in the forbidding fringes of the tundra, where years are marked by seasons of snow, and humans war with immortals in the name of their shared gods.
In her new novel, the war between men and immortals across the frozen landscape of the Northland of Davvieana has come to end, but the change in society has just begun. For men, the balance of power between Believer and Brethren & honoring gods and honoring the sword has significantly shifted to favoring priests over Hunters.
The once-legendary immortal hunter, Irjan, has sacrificed his life in battle against his own people, knowing he couldn’t protect the two children he loved. His son, Marnej, has become a Hunter like his father, and Dárja, the immortal girl he’d promised to protect, has become a prisoner of war. Raised and trained to fight by Irjan, Dárja’s resentment of humans is challenged when the opportunity to escape allies her with Marnej.
Together, these sworn enemies must place trust in one another to live long enough to survive the web of deceit that has forged their lives.
