In ancient times, the White Statue was the proudest achievement of a great civilization. When an order of Corsairs sought to take the statue’s power for themselves, it was hidden where no mortal would dare look for it. Now, the secluded scholar Ara-Vayne believes he has found evidence that may lead him to the Statue’s resting place. After a chance meeting, he joins up with the young swordsman Mrylin, a wanderer whose only real friend is a northern raven with a wicked sense of humor. Together, they will cross oceans and deserts, face the djinni of the wastes, and contend with enemies both human and otherwise. For the Corsairs have lasted down to the present day, waiting for their opportunity to claim the Statue as their own . . . no matter how much blood must be shed. For Ara-Vayne and Mrylin, what begins as an archaeological expedition will quickly become a fight for their lives against men motivated by a hatred that has been building for a thousand years. “Pendrey writes with incredible confidence and wit. Her world is vivid, her villains are sinister, her characters worth knowing. THE WHITE STATUE is thrilling, hilarious, and fresh.” —Sean T. M. Stiennon, author of SIX WITH FLINTEYE and MEMORY WIPE

Within forty-eight hours, I finished the book. Despite all things Christmas (so very wonderful, yet so very time consuming), I couldn't put it down. Pendrey's careful crafting has produced a colorful world filled with loveable characters; she evokes the best of Lewis' Narnia Chronicles, Baum's Oz stories, and the Arabian Nights, adding more than a touch of "The Princess Bride" (iocane powder, anyone? -- not to mention the man in black). While some might complain that the hero seems to possess (and dispose of) more lives than a cat (WAIT: was that just ANOTHER attempt on his life, that he survived?), suspension of disbelief comes quite easily and indeed pleasantly. The adventure is more than a legend; Pendrey's sharp use of mental images helps the reader see, hear, smell, taste, and feel the story along with the characters. The actors in this story live and breathe; the very best was watching the characters interact with each other, quite naturally, and yet each in keeping with his own personality. The friendship (though strained at times) between the hero and his raven is, I think, one of the most amusing and endearing I've ever read.Though I guessed a few plot developments in the beginning, the second half kept me on my toes. As for the statue itself ... well, spoilers! I certainly hope Pendrey continues to publish; I will be watching closely for her next work! If you are looking for something lighthearted, adventurous, swashbuckling, fantastical, amusing, and delightful, here is your book.

The White Statue Quinn Pendrey 9781461086109 Books Reviews
Pendrey's style is distinctive, descriptive, and always keeps you on your toes; as if with a broad sweep of the hand and a flick of the wrist Quinn takes your arm and drags you into the story, until you feel the cold fingers of rain soak through your coat and the twisted cathedral loom above your head.
What a world Quinn Pendrey created! Never a dull moment, never a boring character. One book set in this world with these characters isn't enough. Time for another, please!
It's been a long time since I read a fantasy this original and engaging. Pendrey shows a remarkable aptitude for getting inside the heads of the characters and sharing these insights with the reader. The world is rich and imaginative, clearly showing that the author has taken the time to construct far more behind the scenes than what is shared in the limited space of the book. Plot twists are frequent, and range from completely unexpected (yet still completely believable) to wonderfully set up with ample time for anticipation. The story is engaging, so much so that I had to actively slow my reading down near the end to keep myself from missing crucial points. I hope Pendrey will make this the first of many tales set in this wonderful and fascinating universe.
