Crown of Horns - Paperback

by F. David Schultz (Author), Audra Balion (Illustrator)

Intense, powerful, and increasingly relevant.

Ishkara, a refugee with a vision for unity, seeks to heal the scars left by generations of war. To do so, she enlists the aid of a constable, an artist, and an outsider. But in the fight to unite a nation, even the best of intentions can be corrupted.

Peacekeeping turns violent. Art becomes propaganda. Communities are forced into conformity. Together, they must decide what freedom really means-and what it costs to keep.

Step into a world inspired by the beauty and culture of Ukraine, where mountains are made of mirror-glass, firebirds soar overhead, and wars are fought over the shape of one's horns.

Crown of Horns is a political fantasy that explores the rise of authoritarianism and the power of art and culture in the face of tyranny. Longtime genre fans and newcomers alike will be drawn in by its diverse cast, story-first worldbuilding, and page-turning intensity.
