Description: I read Schianol Roughcrosser this summer and was thrilled with it. This is by far one of the most captivating and truly grassroots fantasy works in many years. I quickly became a fan of Sean Acker, a teacher from St. Paul, Minnesota. He's been writing fantasy for over a decade but this is his first novel. His use of magic, description of swordplay, and epic battles between intense mythical creatures, keeps you reeling from start to finish. The story is so raw with violence, yet tempered with a skewed morality. This is a must read for fantasy lovers. It's available on Publish America. This will become a classic in the future, you'll want it in your collection.
