An Era in Anddemar
A living spiral galaxy, a soulless invasion of Greyness, a colourful web of allies, a love like no other, a myth for our time . . . |
| A lifeless Greyness is threatening the living galaxy Anddemar, unsettling Nature, dimming stars, fuelling tyranny, and disrupting the Great Dance of the ‘Heavens’. In response, a colourful alliance - including an exiled Shapemage, wormholes that channel music, the Grail, and a marooned band of Earth scientists - helps to repel this enemy of Anddemar's communion 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 mythic vision for lovers of breathless Romance, epic high stakes, compelling characters, richly detailed worlds, unexpected twists, the merging of imagination, Cosmos and science, Nature, and the poetic artistry of language. |
