From the DJ flap: The Mistress of Dark Fantasy gives us two volumes in one from the "Tales From the Flat Earth" series. "Delirium's Mistress:" Azhriaz, Daughter of Night, was the child of Night's Master, and he had hidden her where none could find her. Non, that is, but his enemy Chuz, who spirited Azhriaz away to the world above. "Night's Sorceries:" While Chuz and Azhriaz dwelt together in the world of men, their magic worked strange spells on all with whom the lovers and their pursuer came in contact. Time itself was turned back, wizards found their most powerful spells recast, and a mere mortal dared to reach as high as the moon and the sun. If you have not read any of Tanith Lee's works before, I think of her as Anne Rice on acid.

I read the first in this series, "Tales from the Flat Earth: Lords of Darkness" and absolutely loved it! This book is very similar; sort of a sequel. It is the tale of Azhriaz the daughter of Azhrarn, Prince of Demons/Lord of Night. Azhriaz and her lover, the Lord of Madness, set off to dwell in the land of man. Her father does not approve and sets off to find his daughter.

Tanith Lee has such a beautiful way of writing! I don't think you'll be disappointed with this book.
