Dance of Cat and Amber

By Richard Quarry

Lirienne Valrayne risked not only her life but her very soul to save her brother Amaury from the grip of Darkness.

But the man she at last frees from the Shadowlands is not the Amaury she knew. Though his speech reflects the noble goals he always sought, his attempts to put them into action somehow twist themselves into the service of Darkness. Until now his plan to redeem humanity hinges on marriage to Lirienne.

In vain she tries to convince Amaury, now King of Izarr , to renounce the Darkness seeping ever further into his soul. Soon his powers exceed hers. And when he tries to overcome her, she and her loyal Varangian Guard must fight an epic battle in the middle of a river against the knights of Izarr . Here Lirienne learns that Amaury cannot be killed by any blow struck by mortal man. Only the increasingly tormented, ghost-haunted berserker Grayfell can finally batter him into withdrawal.

Now Grayfell himself lies in a coma, with the Darkness resulting from Amaury's wounds working its way ever deeper into his soul. Lirienne lacks the Power to save him. To penetrate more deeply into the Dance of Light and Dark, she must once more seek out the double-edged potions of the renegade alchemist Sicard.

But to reach the Mage she must cross a war-torn landscape crawling with the Free Companies, the Soulless - and most dangerous of all, her own brother.

The third volume of this epic fantasy series, Dance of Cat and Amber sweeps the reader through battles, sorcery, and the desperate extremes of love and treachery. All to decide the greatest question of all: the fate of the human soul.
