A Dark God Laughing Dream And a Lie (Dream and a Lie) (Paperback)

In the bleak northern city of Zoelon, they burn witches on Wintertide's Eve amongst the smoke and squalor of the factories. And in the east, a dark power is stirring and growing stronger…

Times are dangerous for one such as Alix Reste, for Alix sees the future and he carries within him a destructive power that is beyond anything he can understand or control.

Pursued through the smog dark city by a strange admirer and haunted by his own nightmares and visions, Alix begins to realise that he is a pawn in a much larger game. But Alix has secrets of his own, and he is not always what he seems.

As Wintertide's Eve draws relentlessly closer, the skies rain poison, and Alix must decide where to pledge his allegiance and his own strange powers.

About the Author
Fiona McGavin was born in 1971 in the Scottish Highlands and grew up in Fort William on the west coast. She has a degree in modern history from Stirling University but now lives in small town Buckinghamshire.

Her previous jobs include working as a library assistant, visitor centre attendant and copy writer, but she now works at the head office of a large bank.

Although she grew up in a house where almost every available space was taken up by books, she decided to write her own when she couldn't find anything decent to read and has been writing ever since. Her short stories have previously appeared in Visionary Tongue and she also has a couple of half written novels hidden away in the attic.

When not writing she enjoys taking long walks (preferably in the direction of the pub), reading about anything spooky or weird, attempting amateur herbalism, sitting around drinking wine and generally lamenting her lack of interesting hobbies.

A Dark God laughing is her first published novel and the first part of a trilogy. She has a few vague intentions for some of the characters beyond the trilogy.
