 Kay Kenyon fans rejoice! Prince of Storms, the stunning conclusion to Kenyon's award-winning The Entire and The Rose series, is planned for release January 2010. Joining Kenyon is debut novelist Matthew Flaming, whose The Kingdom of Ohio is the tale of a frontier adventurer and a beautiful mathematician who together must wrestle with the very fabric of the universe.
 The Washington Post calls The Entire and The Rose "a splendid fantasy quest as compelling as anything by Stephen R. Donaldson, Philip Jose Farmer, or yes, J. R. R. Tolkien." The Entire and The Rose chronicles the world-shattering discovery of the Entire, a tunnel universe penetrating our own, lit by a fiery river of sky. Titus Quinn leaves twenty-third century Earth (The Rose) to enter the Radiant Kingdom in search of his lost wife and daughter. In the rousing finale, Prince of Storms, Titus must face his inevitable destiny, forced at last to make the unthinkable choice for or against the dictates of his heart, and for or against his beloved land. Prince of Storms confronts the dilemma of power, exposes secrets buried deep within storm walls, and reveals the fate of The Rose in a stunning final confrontation between father and daughter.
 In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews calls The Kingdom of Ohio intriguing, wildly inventive, and wistfully romantic. The Kingdom of Ohio is a story about conspiracies and struggles to reshape the world, revealing secret wars between men like J. P. Morgan andThomas Edison. It is about one of the strangest and least-known mysteries of American history: the existence and disappearance of the Lost Kingdom of Ohio. It is about science and faith, and the distance between the two. And most of all, it's a story about a man and a woman, and about love. Set against the mazelike streets of New York at the dawn of the mechanical age, a frontier adventurer and a beautiful mathematician find themselves wrestling with the nature of history, technology, and the unfolding of time itself.
