Free (DRM-free) Range of Ghosts by Elizabeth Bear [Central Asia Alt-History Fantasy]
Range of Ghosts by John W. Campbell Award-winning author Elizabeth Bear (ISFDB, Wikipedia, SFE) is the 1st novel in her original The Eternal Sky trilogy of epic throne-reclaiming historical fantasy novels set in an alternate magical version of our world during the time of Genghis Khan, which was later expanded into an eponymous series with additional tales, this installment beginning the obligatory plotting and scheming as two displaced heirs of different empires join forces to survive the ambitions of others, against hidden parties secretly manipulating and planning the ruin of them all, free courtesy of publisher Tor Books.
This is their featured eBook Club of the Month offer for October. Currently free through October 9th directly @ the eBook Club's special promo page (DRM-free ePub & Mobi in exchange for newsletter signup with your valid email address; officially only available to Canada & the US due to geographic publishing rights restrictions) If you are interested in following along with the book club discussion, it can be found under the Tor.com blog's dedicated tag for it. Description Range of Ghosts starts a high fantasy series set in a world based on our Asian Steppe in the time of Ghengis Khan. Temur, grandson of the Great Khan, is walking away from a battlefield where he was left for dead. All around lie the fallen armies of his cousin and his brother, who made war to rule the Khaganate. Temur is now the legitimate heir by blood to his grandfather's throne, but he is not the strongest. Going into exile is the only way to survive his ruthless cousin. Once-Princess Samarkar is climbing the thousand steps of the Citadel of the Wizards of Tsarepheth. She was heir to the Rasan Empire until her father got a son on a new wife. Then she was sent to be the wife of a Prince in Song, but that marriage ended in battle and blood. Now she has renounced her worldly power to seek the magical power of the wizards. These two will come together to stand against the hidden cult that has so carefully brought all the empires of the Celadon Highway to strife and civil war through guile and deceit and sorcerous power.

Even though I receive email notices from Tor, because I'm signed up, I have to "join" again every time they announce one. This month was no different. I use the same email address, and it always goes through without a hitch, but I suspect I'll have to "join" again next month.
