The Song That Summoned the Storm

A unique fantasy debut from Yulia Dippel — the author who brought the world the cycles of "Izara" about demons and "Kassardim" about the worlds of the living and the dead, previously published by Freedom. Meet her new story about magical beings called kidhi and their war with humans! This is not just fantasy, but a unique authorial world-building with its own hierarchy and laws. A must-read for everyone who is thrilled by epic fantasy in the spirit of Izara, as well as the works of Julie Kagawa, Victoria Aveyard, and Holly Black. In "The Song That Summoned the Storm," the German author opens the gates to a cinematically real fantasy world with magical beings, dark intrigues, a tender love and hate story between the kidhi girl Sinta and the vakar Arezander. And there is also a bloody murder, the price for uncovering which will be enormous for the heroes... Kidhi are magical beings whose blood is mixed with that of the demon. This special energy — a gift from the gods — grants the kidhi unusual appearance and magical abilities. In Dippel's world, there are light and dark kidhi. The dark ones are stronger in the shadows of the night, while the light ones shine in the daylight. They include the onids, graceful beings capable of enchanting a traveler with a song that carries wishes within its lines. Arezander suspects that Sinta is one of them. "A novel that definitely deserves the title of 'book of the year.' Dark and stunning, with a detailed magical universe and unusual beings. A vivid read!" — Amazon
