Never the Wind (2022)
Francesco Dimitri
"Francesco Dimitri is a true visionary in contemporary fantasy fiction. His masterful storytelling has echoes of Alan Garner in its invocation of the landscape of the author's native Puglia and the ancient magic that throbs just beneath the surface. Fiercely intelligent, achingly heart-felt, Never the Wind will live on in your dreams long after the last page has been read."

The Alchemist of Souls (2012)
(Night's Masque, book 1)
Anne Lyle
"Anne Lyle conjores up a magical Elizabethan England of long shadows, pulsating romance and heart-stopping adventure."

Quicksilver Rising (2003)
The Covenant Rising

(Quicksilver, book 1)
Stan Nicholls
"Fast-paced, high adventure ... a bare-knuckle fight with a magic punch."
