SUMMARY:THE FORTUNE TELLERS OF RUE DARU: Olesya Salnikova Gilmore in conversation with Greta Kelly
DESCRIPTION:A fearless fortune teller in 1920s Paris must use her powers to divine who she can trust—and even more importantly\, learn to trust herself—in the searing new gothic novel from the author of “The Haunting of Moscow House”. \nJoin Olesya Salnikova Gilmore at Blue House Books on Wednesday\, March 25th at 6:30 p.m. to discuss her newest release\, “The Fortune Tellers of Rue Daru”. Olesya will be talking all things magic and writing with local fantasy author Greta Kelly (“The Queen of Days”)\, answering questions from the audience\, and signing books! \nThis event requires a $5 reservation deposit. Get all the details here: https://withfriends.co/…/the_fortune_tellers_of_rue…\nDon’t miss out on this mystical event! \nAbout THE FORTUNE TELLERS OF RUE DARU: \nSpirited twenty-something Zina and her secretive grandmother\, Baba Valya\, own a tearoom on rue Daru in Paris\, where they have lived quietly since Zina’s mother’s untimely death. By day\, the women serve tea\, mostly to members of the bustling Russian émigré community\, but when dusk falls\, they divine fortunes and perform séances for their loyal clientele. \nThen the charming Princess Olga and her brother arrive\, searching for answers about the disappearance of their father\, the Grand Duke and cousin to the murdered last Tsar of Russia. Zina\, eager to learn more about the spirit world and her powers\, performs the séance. She is able to summon the Grand Duke\, but to her horror\, he starts to haunt the shop\, and he seems to know something sinister about her mother’s death. \nAs Zina delves into her family’s hidden past\, dark secrets are unearthed\, threatening Zina and her grandmother’s found family\, home\, and tearoom\, not to mention their very lives. \nAbout OLESYA SALNIKOVA GILMORE: \nOlesya Salnikova Gilmore was born in Moscow\, Russia; raised in the US; and graduated from Pepperdine University with a BA in English / political science\, and from Northwestern School of Law with a JD. She practiced litigation at a large law firm for several years before pursuing her dream of becoming an author. She is happiest writing historical fiction and fantasy inspired by eastern European folklore. She lives in a wooded lakeside suburb of Chicago with her husband and daughter. \nAbout THE QUEEN OF DAYS: \nFrom Greta Kelly\, the author of the Warrior Witch duology\, comes “The Queen of Days”\, an epic adventure that weaves together a flawed-but-lovable family of thieves\, a battle between fallen gods\, and stakes high enough to cause vertigo—perfect for fans of “The Lies of Locke Lamora” and “Six of Crows”. \nFor Balthazar and his family of thieves\, stealing a statue during the annual celebration of the god Karanis was just a good bit of fun…or a way to stick it to the governor who murdered his parents. And yeah\, the small fortune in reward doesn’t hurt—even if his boss also hired the mysterious Queen of Days to join the crew as “the weapon of last resort…” \nWhatever that means. \nBut Bal doesn’t know the ceremony isn’t simply empty words and dusty tradition; it’s true magic. The kind of magic that rips open a portal for the god himself. Only the idol that Karanis planned on using for a body now lies broken at the Queen of Days’ feet. And half of it is missing. \nWith the aid of a lovable brawler\, a society lady turned bomb maker\, a disgraced soldier\, and a time-eating demon\, Bal must hunt down the missing half of the statue if he has any hope of earning his money\, keeping his crew alive…and perhaps even saving all of humanity. But as his journey sends him racing through the city—and across realities—he discovers that doing all this might just doom the city. \nThe city be damned. It’s time to kill a god. \nAbout GRETA KELLY: \nGreta Kelly is the author of the critically acclaimed adult fantasy novels “The Frozen Crown”\, “The Seventh Queen”\, and “The Queen of Days” (Voyager) and the co-host of SFF ADDICTS Podcast. Her writing has also appeared in “Nerdist”\, “i09”\, and “Writer’s Digest”. She currently lives in the U.S. with her husband EJ\, and daughters Lorelei and Nadia who are doing their level-best to take over the world. \nYou can follow her on Instagram\, Twitter and TikTok @gretakkelly.
