The Arucadi #4
Deniably Dead
Is she alive or dead?
That is the question four volunteers from the Gifted Community of Port-of-Lords ask themselves as they attempt to transport Kyla Cren, at rest in a coffin, halfway across the country of Arucadi. They can detect neither breath nor heartbeat, yet her body does not decay. She seems to merely be asleep, but it is a sleep from which she does not wake.
Then the unthinkable happens. When they stop at an inn about halfway through their journey, thieves steal their wagon and all its contents--including Kyla in her coffin! Dead or alive, she must be found. The four use all their diverse talents to track down the bandit gang, but Kyla is still missing, carried off by one of the thieves. Their search persists through many dangers, disappointments, and astounding discoveries.
Can they possibly reach their goal of enshrining Kyla in a hidden cave near the small town of Hillcross? Follow their travels and travails as they risk their lives to find the woman they've sworn to protect--alive or dead.

About the author
E. Rose Sabin
27 books69 followersAlthough born in Pennsylvania, I have lived in Florida since I was five years old. Attended schools in Pinellas County and later taught Spanish and English in the Pinellas County Public Schools.
Although I've always written for my own pleasure, I became serious about writing for publication rather late. I'm now retired from teaching and devoting my time to my writing. Oh, and also to my two dogs, Juliet, a pit bull mix, and Pixie. Juliet I adopted from Animal Control after someone dumped her on the street. She's young, boisterous, and loves everybody. As for Pixie, I agreed to foster to save her from being euthanized. By the time she became adoptable, I realized I couldn't give her up. She's a very pretty dog, a mix of many breeds. She and Juliet love to play together and provide me with great entertainment.
Four of my published books are for teens, and form the Arucadi series, for the country in which they are set. I love hearing from teen readers. I also have a fantasy novel for older teens and adults, three Arucadi novels taking place long before the first four books. Then I have a an adult science fiction trilogy, and I do hope to hear from adult readers about it. I have four stand-alone fantasies for adults One of them, Seduction of the Scepter, is set in Eastern Europe in the mid-1700s. It's light on fantasy, and if you don't like series or trilogies, this might be the book for you. And finally I have a children's chapter book for ages 6-9 titled Grandy's Grand Inventions, which has elements of both fantasy and science fiction.

I was a beta reader for this and I couldn't be happier for it. More areas of the continent of Arucadi get explored in this novel as the 4 protagonists work on completing their mission from the end of A Mix of Magics, while also dealing with their interpersonal struggles.
