Synopsis

“A renegade fire demon! An evil intergalactic vampire army! And a young headstrong Mage leading the charge to stop them! On horseback, no less. A spectacularly fun read!” - The Dancing Librarian

You are going to laugh. You are going to cry. You are going to cheer the rise of a new hero. And you are going to fall in love with Dacha Mandlebrot.

Dacha Rising is Space Fantasy at its finest.
Magic, monsters, mayhem, and majestic might. Space armadas, blistering cosmic-powered duels, shapeshifting demi-ghouls, and one of the Universe's brightest rising stars! Storming through the chaos atop the stallion Mieto, the most powerful horse in existence. And together: a team for the ages!
The galaxy-hopping Mages of the Arcane Order spring into action when a royal pair of newborn twins are kidnapped and stolen off to the prison planet of Jaga Blythe.
A dirty deed pulled off by the mad fire demon, Narglevash the Vile. In league with an ancient and diabolical enemy. The ruthless Black Vorgons, and their armies of monsters plucked from the darkest recesses of the Universe.
Two mighty battles! A rescue attempt for the ages! One thrilling adventure after another, in nail-biting, page-turning fashion. Bam! Dacha is Rising indeed…

About this title

From the Author

About Space Fantasy:I am often asked what Space Fantasy is, and the short answer is always: Well, it's the one true blending of the often combined (and nobody can remember why!?) genres Science Fiction and Fantasy. Which is usually where you find both books existing on the same shelves in bookstores around the globe.Essentially, the magical and fantastical elements of traditional fantasy, yet set in the far off reaches of space, and all the technological wonders that go with space travel, alien planets, and advanced civilizations. In my Arcane Universe series, there is a galaxy-hopping order of Mages. Zipping around in the most advanced star yachts in the Universe, spanning astronomical distance at incalculable speed. All to try to contain the lethal advance of a dark army of demons, demi-ghouls, and vampires, deep and bent on tearing a fissure in the foundation of the Universe. So, they can do nasty things.Though set among the far reaches of every corner of the Universe, it is firmly grounded in Earth terms. For the story centers around a girl from Earth who enters this rarefied and most ancient group of powerful practitioners of the mystical cosmic arts. So, magic and primal forces, against a backdrop of technological wonders and transcendent immortal races. All through the eyes of a slightly overwhelmed girl from Earth. In the end, it is all about the feels, and bringing out the best in people. 

Review

“The Arcane Order in action! Dacha and her magnificent steed, Mieto, seize the day! This tale is sure to rise to the top of your favorites list!”

"This standalone book from within O'Donnell's larger Arcane Universe eschews the larger and more complex origin story of Sage from Earth, to deliver a rollicking thrill ride of the Sage's best friend within the order. And does so with the same wonder, depth, and imaginative aplomb as the original series."

"Pure adrenaline rush, with a Davey and Goliath type showdown for the ages! An addictive read."

"At times evocative of Ursula LeGuin, other settings pure Lovecraftian, the author manages to weave elements of spaceage techno-wizardry and down and dirty fantasy into a compelling cocktail. Delightfully refreshing, and with a wicked bite."

"The greatest horse and rider combination since Shadowfax and Gandalf, or Silver and the Lone Ranger. I expect many more high-octane adventures are to come, and look forward to riding alongside."
