Paperback: 7" x 4½". Etat : Good: Moderate signs of wear. 2002 Edition. © 2001: 1st in the 'Bitterbynde' series of books. Unknown publication date. 2nd printing of 2002 edition. Fading to spine:- Synopsis: While the lordly Stormriders land their splendid winged stallions on the airy battlements of Isse Tower, far below them, in the fortress's depths, their superstitious servants sit by the hearth to tell each other ghastly tales of evil creatures inhabiting the world outside - a world most of them have only glimpsed. Yet it is the least of these servants - a mute, lowly, utterly despised foundling - who dares to scale the Tower, sneak aboard a Windship, and then dive from the sky. The terrified fugitive is rescued by a kindhearted adventurer, who finally gives the poor creature a name - as well as the gift of communicating by handspeak, and an amazing truth never guessed at previously. Now the newly named 'Imrhien' begins a journey to distant Caermelor, in search of a wise woman whose skills may change everything. Along the way, Imrhien struggles in a wilderness of endless danger - for those hearthside tales are all true. Unhuman wights haunt every pool, every turn in the road, and they perpetually threaten and torment all travellers. Lost, and pursued by these monsters, Imrhien is finally saved by a mysterious Dainnan ranger whose gallantry and courage are matched only by his martial skills. Unknown to them both, however, a deadly plot is unfolding. As a dark force summons the malignant hordes of Unseelie, and foul things amass in the night. As the journey grows longer, the challenges more deadly, Imrhien discovers something more terrifying than all of the evil eldritch wights combined. For this spurned outsider, with an angel's soul and a gargoyle's face, is suddenly falling in love:- Review(s): "In a thrilling debut combining masterful storytelling with a treasure trove of folklore, Cecilia Dart-Thornton creates a lushly romantic epic adventure of stunning scope and magical proportions, set in a world brimming with wonders and terrors" / "Not since Tolkien's 'The Fellowship Of The Ring' have I been so impressed by a beautifully spun fantasy" - Andre Norton:- (original cost £6.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Etat : Very Good: Light signs of wear. 2003 Edition. © 2002: 2nd in the 'Bitterbynde' series of books. Unknown publication date, 2nd printing of 2003 edition:- Synopsis: Though her memory remains clouded by sorcery, Imrhien must take vital news directly to the King-Emperor of Caermelor. She hopes that there she may also find Thorn, the fearless ranger who has won her heart. Since no commoner may approach the royal court, Imrhien must assume a new identity as 'Rohain', a noble visitor from the distant Sorrow Isles. This disguise helps her discover that the King and his rangers have in fact gone off to battle the Unseelie hordes, which have suddenly declared war against mortals. While she awaits the King's return, the newcomer Rohain is trapped in her subterfuge, facing a court where treachery and deceit are as deadly as any eldritch peril. As always, changes of fate and fortune occur, and for a brief while it seems Rohain's dream of happiness may be achieved. But her joy is short-lived, for attacks by nightmare monsters of the Wild Hunt - led by the Unseelie Lord Huon - grow ever more frequent and brutal. And when evil forces lay siege to the royal sanctuary on a hidden mystic island, Rohain must accept a horrifying fact: she herself is the real target of these monstrous onslaughts; she is the one whom Huon is hunting. But she has no idea why. To protect those she loves, the 'Lady of the Sorrows' must undertake a desperate quest to discover who she really is, and why an unhuman evil will destroy a world to find her. But the truth of Rohain's past is about to prove more incredible - and far more tragic - than anything she could possibly have imagined:- Review(s): "Not since Tolkien's 'The Fellowship Of The Ring' have I been so impressed by a beautifully spun fantasy" - Andre Norton:- (original cost £7.99).
