Spiral Path (Night Calls Series Book 3)

"The world is woven of secrets.

"I was born with lightning in one hand and mercy in the other, but what I need is the pattern to my tapestry of power.

"Danger drove me from the primeval American wilderness to Windward Academy, where the Wizard of Manhattan offers me one last chance to learn magical control. Windward--where every word, every breath is a test. Every lesson can be deadly. And every challenge can explode out of the schoolroom and into the realms of demons.

"Sometimes a shadow is so dark it arrives before the sun.â€

REVIEWS:

"Magic and treason form a deadly maze for Alfreda, one of my favorite heroes, returning to public life in one of my favorite fantasy series. It's alternate early America; Alfreda is savvy to the life and magic of the forest, the rivers, and winter, but powers know she is alive and able, to be recruited or destroyed."
â€”Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

"enjoy the total immersion in Kimbrielâ€™s alternate early America"

â€œâ€¦once in a very great while I find something I wish Iâ€™d read thirty years before it was ever published.â€¦These books do not let you rest. Allie is constantly in heart-thumping danger, being tested by benevolent and evil forces, by her human teachers, by human enemies, and by adult-sized moral questions, though she begins at age eleven."
â€”Sleeping Hedgehog

â€œOnce I started reading I think I looked up when I was finished, realized I was starving and then discovered it was after 8 at night and I hadnâ€™t had dinner yet. Nothing was able to pull me out of Alfredaâ€™s latest adventure. â€¦I am seriously hooked on this series and I canâ€™t wait for the next installment.â€

â€œ...SPIRAL PATH...is about finding yourself, even if the person you are consists of layers within layers without end . . . a spiral path indeed. Bottom line: SPIRAL PATH was most definitely worth the wait, and is a worthy addition to the outstanding Night Calls series.â€
â€”Shiny Book Review
******
â€œMuch of the adventure here is the adventure of boarding school with a magical twist, but there are other things going on in the background, and Allie can no more avoid trouble than she can avoid breathing. She's just far too intelligent, inquisitive, and brave, not to mention impetuous. This is a lot of fun. Recommended.â€
â€”Lis Careyâ€™s Library

â€œEvery book in the Kindred Rites series has had me racing for the end and wishing for more. Spiral Path is no exception. Ms. Kimbrielâ€™s enticing and lyrical prose and knowledge of the arcane will hook new readers and delight old ones as well.â€
â€”Rebecca McFarland Kyle, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer

â€œA gem... Crafted with precision and heart, this tale shimmers with imagination, adventure, and characters who burst alive from the page. More, please!â€
â€”Sara Stamey, author of Islands

Praise for the Night Calls series:
***
â€œWith a clear, distinctive voice, Katharine Kimbriel invents and re-invents magic on Americaâ€™s frontier, a place hardly explored by writers and long overdue for a visit. (Or should I say a visitation?)â€
â€”Jane Yolen, award-winning author of Briar Rose
***
â€œThere are very few books I reread on a regular basis. Night Calls is one. When I read Night Calls I thought, first, that Robin McKinleyâ€™s The Blue Sword had at last found a proper shelfmate....â€
â€”Laura Anne Gilman, Nebula Award Nominee for Flesh and Fire: The Vineart War series

"...and I am very happy to report that Kimbriel made me almost miss my bus stop at work because I had to read just one more page."
â€”The Book Pushers

"To protect those she loves, a pragmatic young witch finds faith and magical lessons in the natural worldâ€”compelling, fantastic tale, beautifully, wondrously written!"
