Book Description
In the mystical realm of the Seven Circles, all races have lived in harmony within their own spheres. Now, in the final installment of this trilogy from author Douglas Niles, they must band together to fight the ultimate evil. The threat of war has loomed over the spheres of the Seven Circles for more than five decades—and now the enemy has finally advanced, forcing the creatures of this peace-loving world into violent battle. If they lose, the Seven Circles will belong to Karlath-Fayd—a brutal Deathlord whose rule promises everlasting misery. Their only hope rests with the magic of the druids—the most evolved beings of all—who have summoned legendary warriors of the past to fight alongside an army that encompasses all the races. And as they confront the evil that has descended upon them, Miradel, the druid priestess who has saved her home twice before, journeys to the center of the world—to discover once and for all why the Seven Circles have been engulfed by this enduring darkness, and what can be done to end it. “Niles has again conceived a fantasy setting of great richness and scope.”—Publishers Weekly “Absolutely nobody builds a more convincing fantasy realm than Doug Niles.”—R. A. Salvatore, bestselling author of The Demon Awakens “Niles…writes so well that his characters come to life after only a few lines.”—Starlog

Book Description
The war between the elemental kingdoms has ended, and a tenuous peace established. However, the strength of that peace depends upon a marriage alliance between Princess Vivian of Gealgath and King Adonyss IV of Norbane. Adyn has agreed to the match, but Vivian has other ideas for her future that don't include marriage to a foreign king. She would much rather remain unwed and continue with her research, as she has always done. She soon learns that what she wants is of little consequence to kings, and finds herself unceremoniously packed off on a difficult journey to Norbane. Across the continent, Morgan, Roden, and Heliodor have problems of their own. With the threat of war gone, they must now find a way to break the Great Segregation Spell. The lack of useful information on the subject is frustrating, and the eld creatures are little help. With a reference from a folktale as their only lead, the three set off on a journey to find the fabled Worldweaver. The goddess from Svengai is rumored to hold time in her hands, and if anyone would know how to unravel an ancient spell, it would be her. However, there might be more to this spell than any of them realize, and breaking it could prove extremely difficult, if not impossible.

Book Description
Once upon a time all literature was fantasy, set in a mythical past when magic existed, animals talked, and the gods took an active hand in earthly affairs. As the mythical past was displaced in Western estimation by the historical past and novelists became increasingly preoccupied with the present, fantasy was temporarily marginalized until the late 20th century, when it enjoyed a spectacular resurgence in every stratum of the literary marketplace. Stableford provides an invaluable guide to this sequence of events and to the current state of the field. The chronology tracks the evolution of fantasy from the origins of literature to the 21st century. The introduction explains the nature of the impulses creating and shaping fantasy literature, the problems of its definition and the reasons for its changing historical fortunes. The dictionary includes cross-referenced entries on more than 700 authors, ranging across the entire historical spectrum, while more than 200 other entries describe the fantasy subgenres, key images in fantasy literature, technical terms used in fantasy criticism, and the intimately convoluted relationship between literary fantasies, scholarly fantasies, and lifestyle fantasies. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography that ranges from general textbooks and specialized accounts of the history and scholarship of fantasy literature, through bibliographies and accounts of the fantasy literature of different nations, to individual author studies and useful websites.

Book Description
The Awakener is Helen Weaver's long awaited memoir of her adventures with Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Lenny Bruce, and other wild characters from the New York City of the fifties and sixties. The sheltered but rebellious daughter of bookish Midwestern parents, Weaver survived a repressive upbringing in the wealthy suburbs of Scarsdale and an early divorce to land in Greenwich Village just in time for the birth of rock 'n' roll—and the counterculture movement known as the Beat Generation. Shortly after her arrival Kerouac, Ginsberg, and company—old friends of her roommate—arrive on their doorstep after a non-stop drive from Mexico. Weaver and Kerouac fall in love on sight, and Kerouac moves in. " … Weaver] paints a romantic picture of Greenwich Village in the 1950s and '60s, when she worked in publishing and hung out with Allen Ginsberg and the poet Richard Howard and was wild and loose, getting high and falling into bed almost immediately with her crushes, including Lenny Bruce … Her descriptions of the Village are evocative, recalling a time when she wore 'long skirts, Capezio ballet shoes and black stockings,' and used to 'sit in the Bagatelle and have sweet vermouth on the rocks with a twist of lemon.' Early on, she quotes Pasternak: 'You in others: this is your soul.' Kerouac's soul lives on through many people—Joyce Johnson, for one—but few have been as adept as Weaver at capturing both him and the New York bohemia of the time. He was lucky to have met her."—Tara McKelvey, The New York Times Book Review “There is a tendency for memoirs written by women about The Great Man to be self-abnegating exercises in a kind of inverted narcissism—the author seeking to prove her worth as muse, as consort, as chosen one. Not so with Helen Weaver’s beautiful, plainspoken elegy for her time spent with Jack Kerouac, who suddenly appeared at her door in the West Village one white, frosty morning with Allen Ginsberg, who knew Weaver’s roommate, in tow."—New York Post "Helen Weaver’s book was a revelation to me! … This is the most graphic, honest, shameless, and moving documentary of what the newly liberated women in cities got up to—how they lived, loved, and created. Who knew? It is time they did! And here’s how."—Carolyn Cassady "Weaver recreates the excitement of a time when things were radically changing and shows us what it was like living with an eccentric genius at the turning point of his life. Eventually she asks Jack to leave but they remain friends, and over the years her respect for his writing grows even as Kerouac's reputation undergoes a gradual transition from enfant terrible to American icon. She comes to realize that by writing On the Road he woke America up—along with her—from the long dream of the fifties. And the Buddhist philosophy that once struck her as Jack's excuse for doing whatever he liked because 'nothing is real, it's all a dream' eventually becomes her own." "Helen Weaver's memoir is a riveting account of her love affair and friendship with Jack Kerouac. She is both clear-eyed and passionate about him, and writes with truly amazing grace."—Ann Charters Helen Weaver has translated over fifty books from the French of which one, Antonin Artaud: Selected Writings (Farrar, Straus and Giroux ) was a Finalist for the National Book Award in translation in 1976. She is co-author and general editor of the Larousse Enyclopedia of Astrology and author of The Daisy Sutra, a book on animal communication. She lives in Kingston, New York.
