THE LADY OF THE SORROWS The Bitterbynde Trilogy #2 This special,
revised edition includes the author's new introduction - in which
she discusses the writing of the Bitterbynde trilogy - images of
part of the original, handwritten manuscript and copies of some
original notes and calculations created while the work was in
progress. "Though Imhrien's memory is clouded by sorcery, she must
take vital news to the King-Emperor of Caermelor. She hopes that
there she may also find Thorn, the King's Ranger, a beautiful
warrior who has won her heart. Since no commoner may approach the
royal court, Imrhien assumes a new identity as Rohain, a noble
visitor from the distant Sorrow Isles. She soon discovers that the
King and his rangers have departed to battle the unseelie hordes
which have declared war against mortalkind. Attacks by nightmare
monsters of the Wild Hunt, led by wicked Lord Huon, grow ever more
frequent and brutal. And when evil forces lay siege to the royal
sanctuary on a hidden mystic island, Rohain is confronted with a
horrifying discovery. To protect those she loves, the Lady of the
Sorrows must undertake a desperate quest to discover who she is and
why an unhuman evil would wreak such destruction. But the truth of
Rohain's past will prove more incredible - and far more tragic -
than any she could possibly have imagined." Author Cecilia
Dart-Thornton was discovered on the Internet. She had written the
three books of the Bitterbynde Trilogy before she uploaded the
first chapter to a Writers' Workshop, where her work was spotted by
an editor. Shortly afterwards Time-Warner's publishing department
(New York) offered her a contract. They published her books in
hardcover, the first time they had ever done so with a new author.
The Bitterbynde Trilogy hit the best-seller lists world-wide and
has been translated into five languages.
The Bitterbynde #3 THE BATTLE OF EVERNIGHT - Special edition,
revised and extended, including an extra chapter. An ancient secret
is about to be revealed... The fugitive who calls herself Tahquil
has at last discovered the truth. She is being hunted down because
of the secret she alone knows. However her mind is still clouded by
a potent spell called the Bitterbynde, and she is also dying from a
strange wasting disease, whose cure is elusive... Disaster strikes
and she finds herself in Evernight - at the fortress of the Raven
Prince himself. Faerie creatures of every kind - virtuous and
wicked, solitary and trooping, monstrous and marvellously
beautiful, become locked in a battle that could engulf all of
Erith. Tahquil's quest for the truth finally hinges on a desperate
choice. If she reveals that which is hidden, will she thereby save
two worlds - or instead destroy everything she holds dear?

THE ILL-MADE MUTE - SPECIAL EDITION The Bitterbynde Trilogy #1
Revised and extended, with extras never before published, including
information about Ms Dart-Thornton's life as an author and
fragments of her unpublished juvenilia. 'The Stormriders land their
splendid winged stallions on the airy battlements of Isse Tower.
Far below, the superstitious servants who dwell in the fortress's
lower depths tell tales of wicked creatures inhabiting the world
outside, a world they have only glimpsed. 'Yet it is the least of
the lowly - a mute, scarred, and utterly despised foundling - who
dares to scale the Tower, sneak aboard a Windship, and then dive
from the sky. 'The fugitive is rescued by an adventurer who gives
it a name, the gift of communicating by handspeak, and an amazing
truth, never guessed. Now Imrhien begins a journey to distant
Caermelor, seeking a wise woman whose skills may be lifechanging.
Along the way Imrhien must survive a wilderness of endless danger.
For the hearthside tales are all true. The unhuman wights are real
in all their legions. They haunt every pool, every turn in the
road, and threaten and torment all travelers.' Author Cecilia
