Kaleb Nation\, author and blogger of The Twilight Guy fame\, who turned 20 in 2008\, presents the first book in his series\, Bran Hambric\: The Farfield Curse.
Bran Hambric was found locked in a bank vault at six years old\,
with no memory of his past. For years\, he has lived with one of the
bankers\, wondering why he was left behind -- until one night\, when
he is fourteen\, he is suddenly confronted by a maddened creature\,
speaking of Bran’s true past and trying to kidnap him.
Bran finds that he is at the center of a plot which started
years before he was even born\: the plot of a deadly curse his mother
created…and one that her former masters are hunting for him to
complete.
Haunted by the spirit of his mother’s master and living in a city
where magic is illegal\, Bran must undo the crimes of his
past...before it is too late.

Alexie has written three story collections\, two screenplays\, 12 volumes of poetry (including Face\, published last March) and three novels\, including The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian\, the 2007 National Book Award winner for Young People's fiction. True Diary was inspired by Alexie's own remarkable\, improbable life\, from his birth with hydrocephalus (doctors didn't expect him to live\, and certainly not without retardation)\, to his determined 44-mile daily round-trip walk to a "\;better"\; high school off the reservation\, to the pinnacle of literary success.
