Winter reading

February is ending, and winter is starting to turn towards spring. Time to read another in the Tales of the Kashallan series! Here's a link for Treacherous Campaign , as ebook or paperback: https://books2read.com/b/treacherouscampaign   Treacherous Campaign is the eighth book in the series Tales of the Kashallans, by celebrated author Celu Amberstone.

Not all the clans agree, and the demon Tessa carries has its own agenda. Even the Khutani are not of one mind about what shall be done.   "This is a richly detailed fantasy/space opera that is positively addictive. Celu Amberstone has the knack of weaving elaboration and action into...
