In the myth-ridden hills of Ireland, three generations of young women struggle to tame the ancient magical powers that course through their blood. Each in her own way, Emily, Jessica, and Enye face the darker side of the human mythoconsciousness. One will embrace it. One will destroy it. And one will be swallowed whole ...

Filled with passionate, vividly rendered characters and wildly imaginative storytelling, King of Morning, Queen of Day is a spellbinding work of contemporary fantasy by an exceptionally gifted writer.

Cover Blurbs:

"The man is a poet masquerading as a novelist." -- Katherine Kurtz

"The decade is still young, but King of Morning, Queen of Day carries such a rich wealth of language and story, of character and concept, that I don't doubt it will rank among the best works the genre will produce over the next ten years. This is a brilliant book; do yourself a favor and read it." -- Charles de Lint
