Book I of Song Of The Tears. After ten years of servitude, Nish is about to be released from the blackest prison of the maimed God-Emperor, Jal-Nish Hlar, his corrupt father. Using the sorcerous Profane Tears, Gatherer and Reaper, Jal-Nish Hlar controls all of the Secret Art. All opposition having been crushed, he has begun to remake the world in his depraved image. The only hope of overthrowing him lies in Nish, whom the oppressed peoples of the world see as a messianic figure, the Deliverer, who long ago promised to return and cast down his father. But Nish is a broken man and must repudiate that sacred oath - he is powerless and alone. And worse, his father is trying to seduce him into becoming his lieutenant and faced with the unbearable alternative of another ten years in prison, Nish isn't sure he can resist the temptation. The one person who can help Nish is little Maelys, a shy, bookish dreamer forced by duty to use Nish for an ignoble purpose. But Maelys is the last woman he wants and she carries a secret far more likely to destroy Nish than save him. Cover art by Les peterson. -
Book VI of Mythago Wood. Several years ago, Christian Huxley's father, George, obsessively documented the strange phenomena emanating from Ryhope Wood at the edge of their property. He watched the ancient heroes emerge, shouting both incomprehensible warnings and unmistakable invitations.

A childhood encounter with a phantom from another time draws him to the Wood as an adult. Deep in Ryhope, Christian uncovers the lie that permeates his worst nightmares. And like his father, he will be consumed with the mythagoes of Ryhope, especially a young Celtic warrior called Guiwenneth. She is the key to the mystery of the universe, an ancient heroine caught in a timeless tale of bravery and sacrifice. Now, together with a band of crusaders from a world long gone, Christian and Guiwenneth become part of the unfolding stories both remembered and forgotten. They meet sorcerers in battle and giants who can travel miles in one step. And they discover the meaning of the two gates, Ivory and Horn - one the lie, the other the truth...Cover art by John Howe. -
