'The sorcerer has awoken and blights the land ... while the innocent mage hovers between life and death.
Rafel′s expedition over the mountains to Lost Dorana has disappeared. Now Deenie is having disturbing dreams of her brother and determines to seek the truth. In the company of her best friend she finds a way beyond Lur, only to find that the evil sorcerer, Morg, still holds those lands in a tenuous but strengthening grip.' (From the publisher's website.)
Dedication:
Dedicated to
Robert B Parker
Who lifted crime fiction into the heady realm of
sweet, spare elegance
Kage Baker
One of the most gifted and consistently under-rated
writers in the field of speculative fiction
and
Dick Francis
I read Hot Money so many times the book came
apart in my hands.
If that doesn't denote genius, I don't know
what does.
I can't believe we lost three of my favourite writers in
the spaec of a few weeks. Thank you, thank you, and
may you all rest in peace.
