Competition

So: my good friend and fellow Write Fantastic writer Juliet E McKenna jemck has had a book out recently, Darkening Skies, the second volume in her Hadrumal Crisis series. In honour of this, she's given me a copy of the new book plus a copy of its predecessor, Dangerous Waters to give away.
I'm a big fan of her books: she writes wonderful grown-up characters, twisty plots and great action sequences, and this new series is all about the costs and penalties of using magic in politics (a subject that is too seldom thought through, in my opinion). I am loving this new series.
So, to win a book, caption this photograph of Ish. The two best suggestions get the books!
