| A lifeless Greyness is threatening the living galaxy Anddemar, unsettling Nature, dimming stars, fuelling tyranny, unleashing destruction, and disrupting the Great Dance of the ‘Heavens’. In response, a colourful alliance - including an exiled Shapemage, wormholes that channel music, the Grail, shamans, and a marooned band of Earth scientists - helps to repel this enemy of Anddemar's enduring marriage of dark and light. And weaving through it all is the exquisite love between ‘the foremost of Anddemar’s knights’ and the Vidar Quain of the Dreaming. An Era in Anddemar is a groundbreaking science fantasy epic for lovers of breathless Romance, mythological high stakes, compelling characters, richly detailed worlds, unexpected twists, the merging of imagination, Cosmos and science, and the poetic artistry of language. Welcome to Anddemar |

From 5 Star Readers Favorite Review . . . What an immersive read! I highly appreciated how Maureen B. Roberts transposed her fascination with stars, her shaman qualification, and her encyclopaedic knowledge of Celtic mythology and astronomy into An Era in Anddemar. Perfectly written, spectacular, and thought-provoking, this novel immersed me deeply in . . . the Anddemar galaxy, which I enjoyed exploring with Sir Jaide, Starwing, and their allies. The philosophical discussions about the essence of the Cosmos and the living beings in it were captivating. I also enjoyed the poetic creations alluding to John Keats and the allegoric allusions to the modern world’s military conflicts. But if I were to name just one episode that made this delightful read special for me, it was no doubt Starwing’s talk with her daughter about the essence of love. I highly recommend this admirable novel to fans of sophisticated, scenic, epic fantasy. [Olga Markova 8/2026]
