 Hunter of the Light Harper Prism 1995 |
Every ninth year a great elk appears on Éirinn's mountaintops,
and the goddess chooses a champion to stalk and slay it with her sacred
spear, that the balance of Light and Shadow may be preserved.
This is
the tale of the bard Blackthorn, geis-bound
to pursue the dream-stag across a land wracked by war and treachery,
and bound by love to free the doomed enchantress Roisin Dubh from the
curse that threatens to destroy her.

Shadow's
Road Unpublished |
Niall,
warrior-king of Éirinn, gambles his kingship, his life, his
very soul,
for love of Liannan, queen-mother of Midhe. The road he must
tread for his quest leads him between the lands of the living
and
the dead, mortals and Sidhe, and a single false step will doom not only
him, but all five kingdoms of Éirinn as well.

Darkdays Unpublished |
Tuarenbase is the most corrupt outpost in the
galactic sector,
populated by the scum of a hundred star systems. And it
doesn't
help that the only honest cop in town is an alien werewolf
with a
serious attitude problem, especially when she catches scent of the gang
that destroyed her home-world.
