The Eye of Night
"I little thought, when I came to beg shelter at Kelgarran Hall one rainy night,
that I should take part in its downfall."
by Sapphire-Winning Author Pauline J. Alama
Bantam Spectra 2002
"One has to go back to the works of R.A. Lafferty to find another fantasy in which an apocalypse means not the end of everything or the begnning of a harsh and cruel world, but rather the beginning of new heavens and new earth. The Eye of the Night is an ingenious and exhilirating story with an indomitable woman protagonist"
-Andrew Greeley
"[I]f you like romantic fantasy of epic scope, with heartbreak and sacrifice and true love, layered with rich mythos, complex world-building, and tender symbolism, then this is the book for you."
