At the 29th Boréal Convention in Quebec City on May 6, 2012, Éric Gauthier was awarded the Prix Aurora-Boréal for his fantasy novel, Montréel (Alire), accompanied by the SF Canada Award of $500. For over 30 years, Canadian fans of speculative fiction have been voting on the Aurora and Boréal awards to acknowledge the best of Canadian professional and fan activity in both official languages.
Gauthier, a seasoned storyteller who captures the attention of his readers by offering a Montreal almost unrecognizable in a world of magic and ghosts, was also awarded the Prix Jacques-Brossard for the same work.

On May 1, ROC (Penguin) released the mass market paperback of SFCanada member Alison Sinclair's Shadowborn, third book in the trilogy that began with Darkborn (2009) and continued with Lightborn (2010). Shadowborn was first published in trade paperback June 2011.
For the Darkborn, the touch of sunlight kills, while darkness is lethal for the Lightborn. For centuries, the two have lived in an uneasy peace, sharing the same city but never meeting. Now, with the rise of the Shadowborn, everything is about to change…
Condemned to death by the Darkborn for practicing sorcery, Lady Telmaine Hearne escaped her fate and is now bound with her mageborn allies for the Borders—and the war brewing there.
Also on the frontlines of the battle between Darkborn and Shadowborn is the assassin Floria White Hand, desperately maneuvering between allies and enemies to bring her Lightborn prince home safe.
The fragile alliance between Lightborn and Darkborn, between mage and non-mage, is endangered. The mage Tammorn is forced to become ambassador to the enemy. And a lifetime fighting the Shadowborn has not prepared Ishmael di Studier for what he will find when he follows the Call from the Shadowlands—and meets the woman behind it…
Read the opening chapter of Shadowborn.
