Editorial Reviews

Review

"...a world full of allusions to our own history...magical struggles with treachery as an important element...the main struggle could be called love vs. hate. These books are interesting works of fantasy...a fine series which shows a good historical background with an awareness of the importance of logistics. Whatever one thinks of Amazons as a concept, they are certainly well-done here. Even the villains are complex, well-fleshed out characters. -- Timothy Lane, Fosfax, November 1988

"...fantasy that is woven intricately upon a weft of solid classical knowledge, yet is also colored by a creative imagination of great scope and power. The novel has the power and delicate precision of the best poetry. Tantalizing glimpses of our own antique world, interestingly altered and yet recognizable, give the story an extra dimension that feels like true history. Anyone who believes that fantasy must contain magic and elves has never read the work of Mary Renault...in Lillian Carl we have found another who can offer her readers an alternate reality that will live inside the mind long after the book has been finished." -- Ardath Mayhar, Thrust, Summer 1988

Product Description

Heroic fantasy. Andrion, son of the conqueror Bellasteros and the amazon queen Danica, thinks his crown is secure. But no. He has no heir from his arranged marriage, and mysterious figures are attacking his allies. He must set aside his crown and travel to demon-haunted Minras, where he faces not only a supernatural enemy but a precocious child, his own nephew Gard.
