Regine the Thirteenth governs her nation as a shining example of despotic panache: velvet glove, iron fist, designer shoes. A woman who understands the power of a well-placed ruffle, her every flounce is commanded to hang just so. But when one of her subjects selflessly offers to take the place of a death-row criminal, Regine discovers that life is not all tufted velvet and beaded chiffon. Furbelow is a comic fable about fame, friendship, and really good fabrics.

In a packed Siberian church on a snowy day, a priest is eulogizing a 109-year-old town leader when the roof caves in, killing everyone inside. Only one speaker of the Ujide language remains: Nicholas, who’s still at college. His ex-girlfriend Jessica also has languages on the brain: namely finding a wellspring language, an idea that intrigued late Ithaca serial killer Edward Rulloff. The collapse begins an amazing sequence of events involving the untranslated Voynich Manuscript, a spell, the return of Rulloff and Nicholas’ dead sister, and a reversal of the Tower of Babel. A few flakes of snow will change the world forever.
