Hendee continue the saga of the Noble Dead in Through Stone and Sea, book 2 of the Noble Dead series 2. The first series established the world of the Noble Dead, vampires, but good and bad, as well as Elves, Dwarves, Sages (scholars and magicians), old gods, assorted demons, and villains. Wynn Hygeorht, Chane Andraso (one of the Noble Dead), and Shade (a dog and a majay-hì, capable of reading and storing memories of others) seek to locate more of the ancient sacred texts. The ones found earlier have been kept from Wynn and those who sought to bring translations to the Guild of Sages, were killed. Determined to find the texts and decipher their mysteries, Wynn and her companions seek the Dwarven Stone-walkers. However, an evil wraith who also seeks the texts shadows them. From official release/information: From back of book: Wynn is determined to recover the ancient texts she brought back from the castle in the Farlands. She has only one hint to their location: She overheard one whispered dwarven word that suggested the "Stonewalkers" may be involved. So she journeys to the mountain stronghold of the dwarves in search of this unknown sect. With two uncertain allies as guides--Chane Andraso, a vampire, and Shade, an elven wolf--she must enter those depths and fathom ancestral religions, oral traditions, and deeper customs. In her obsession for the texts,she will find more puzzles and questions buried in secrets old and new...along with an enemy she thought destroyed. (Source: Roc)
